Description |
English: In this statue, Helios is given the face of a youthful Caracalla, which may portray the emperor prior to his reign of 211–217. There is also a deliberate attempt to associate Caracalla with Alexander. He is portrayed with Alexander’s distinctive hairstyle and also with the attributes of Helios: the crown that originally had twelve bronze rays framing his face, the torch he carried in his left hand (traces of the flame are visible on the upper left arm), and the horse’s head that indicates his chariot. His right arm would have pointed to the route across the sky. As in the Torso of an Emperor in the Guise of Jupiter (also in the Museum’s collection), religious symbols are here artfully employed for the purposes of political propaganda. Late 2nd-early 3rd century C.E., marble, Roman. (from NCMA.learn site) |
