Description
Head from an over-life-sized marble statue of the emperor Vespasian, perhaps re-carved from a portrait of Nero. The nose is missing.
The head may have been re-carved from a portrait of Nero, after the latter's death and damnatio memoriae. This is indicated by the appearance of the marble surface on the back of the neck, where it looks like an originally longer section of hair was removed, by the disproportionatelly large ears, and by inconsistencies in the coiffure.
