Description:
|
|
The statue represents a bearded Persian in oriental costume, his body made of pavonazzetto (a colored type of rock known as breccia which came from Phrygia [modern Turkey]), his face and hands in nero antico (a black and white marble), wearing a Phrygian cap. He is reaching up and supporting a plinth. There are three identical statues, inv. 6115 and 6117 in Naples and another in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek of Copenhagen (inv. 1177); they may have been parts of the same monument. Two dates have been proposed, either during the campaigns of Trajan, ca. 113-117 CE or to celebrate the victory over the Parthians in 20 BCE under Augustus. Part of the Farnese Collection; found in the Vigna del Bufalo, near Porta Pinciana (Rome). (Source: Naples National Archaeological Museum [website]; https://www.museoarc heologiconapoli.it/e n/)
