Description:
|
|
The Seleucid Empire was a Hellenistic state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty, which existed from 312 BCE to 63 BCE. Rome’s victories over Carthage, Macedonia and Achaia in the mid-2nd century BCE greatly accelerated the decline of the Hellenistic world, while Egypt and Syria increasingly succumbed to civil war and the petty kingdoms of Asia Minor remained locked in local conflicts. Thereafter the disintegration of the Hellenistic sculptural tradition was inevitable. The statue is generally considered a portrait of a Hellenistic prince, possibly an early portrait of Attalus II, King of Pergamon. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
