Summary

Description

This head bears a resemblance to profiles of the king of Syria Antiochus III (223–187 BC) found on coins and is thought to have been modelled on an equestrian statue of that monarch executed in bronze in the late 3rd century BC and known to us from an inscribed base found at Delphi bearing the signature of the sculptor Meidias. A priest’s head dating from the 1st century BC found on the Athens Agora (National Museum of Athens, inv. NM 351) has a similar diadem however.

Acquired as a head of “Caesar” by Napoleon III from the comte Pepoli and displayed in the Palais de l'Elysée in 1870; entered the Louvre in 1872
