Description:

Colossal bust of Serapis, in the style of an original from the Serapeum of Alexandria attributed to Bryaxis of 320-310 BCE. Roman copy dated 180-200 CE. Found in 1771 in the area of the Villa of Gallieno on the Appian Way and sold to the museum by Gavin Hamilton. The Graeco-Egyptian god has the "calathus" (extensively restored) on his head in the shape of a "modius" (cylindrical container use to hold and measure wheat). His hair is bound by a band which has holes for fixing the seven bronze rays (now lost) which identify Serapis with Helios / Sol. Serapis continued to increase in popularity during the Roman period.
