Statue:
Julius Caesar Farnese (Ca. 0-99 AD)
History:
The ancient colossal marble original bust was found in 1546 Rome near the monastery of San Lorenzo, in the Spolia Christi district, the area where in medieval times it was believed that the Forum of Trajan and, in particular, the Basilica Ulpia were located. Mounted on a molded base with a concave profile, it portrays Julius Caesar with regular features, curly hair brushed towards his forehead, a particularly robust cranium, two deep horizontal wrinkles on his forehead and a protruding chin. It is part of a series of colossal portraits of the emperors of the first century A.D. as well as the forefathers and leading figures of Republican Rome which were arranged in the Forum of Trajan and the neighboring Forum of Augustus. The original cast statue is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
