Description:
|
|
Claudius was emperor from 41 to 54 CE. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was the son of Drusus and Antonia Minor. The head of this bust is original; the draped shoulders and base are modern restorations. The corona civica, or civic crown, was a garland of oak leaves (corona quercea) granted by the Senate to someone whom they considered had saved the lives of fellow Roman citizens in battle; later it was awarded to emperors whose actions as rulers saved lives in times of war. This bust has a series of drilled holes under the crown and was probably embellished with a fillet, curls, or stalks with acorns in gold. From the Farnese Collection.
