The focus of the second floor of the old museum, and the focus of the entire museum, is these various statues of the Roman period, including full-body and head or busts, emperors, empresses, etc., as well as Roman and Greek gods.
I wanted to classify full body portraits and headshots, but I thought I would write them according to the era of the emperors, and this article would first be introduced to roman emperors, empresses, generals, and their lovers.
The two heads, followed by Caesar and in front of him, is his "Cleopatra."
Found in Egypt, this bust of Caesar dates from about 1-50 AD to hard sandstone and is called Green Caesar because of its green color.
The bust is clad in Toga, the facial features are clearly contoured, but the eyes are repaired later.
Regarding Caesar, because he has written a lot before, it is not necessary to introduce too much, although he has never been called emperor, but he is called Julius Caesar by posterity, and later Holy Roman Empires and German emperors have called themselves Kaiser, and the Russian Tsar (Tsar) is also derived from this.
The marble head of Cleopatra VII, dated around 40-30 BC, was found on the Piazza della Appia in Italy, most likely in a private villa of the past.
Cleopatra VII, popularly known as Cleopatra, was the last monarch of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The queen wears the crown of the Ptolemaic dynasty on her head and wears a bun behind her head.
Cleopatra and Caesar also had a son, Caesar. Lyon, but both mother and son were executed by Augustus.
The head of Augustus (Octavian), found in Cairo, Egypt, dates from about 27 BC to 14 AD. Strictly speaking, Augustus can not be regarded as the first emperor of Rome, only the first citizen, the head of state, but is recognized as the first emperor of the Roman Empire.
Another Augus marble head relief.
The head was found in Rome and dates from about 30-50 AD. Probably the left half of the head is more severely damaged, and in the 19th century it was inlaid in a marble frame that looked like a relief.
The marble head of Agrippa, found in a town hall on the west coast of Asia Minor in Turkey, dates from about 1-25 AD.
When Caesar intended to train Octavian as his successor, because he felt that he lacked the talent of military opposition, he specially arranged for Agrippa, who was about the same age as him, to accompany Octavian, so the two could be regarded as growing up together.
After Caesar's assassination, no one realized that Octavian would become Caesar's successor, and Agrippa contributed to Octavian's succession. In particular, at the Battle of Yaksing, Agrippa defeated cleopatra and Mark Antony's fleets.
After the stabilization of Augustus's regime, the city of Rome was largely handed over to Agrippa, who, in Augustus's words, gave him a marble city.
The Roman Pantheon, built by Agrippa in honor of the Battle of Jacques, was later rebuilt by Hadrian, but the name Agrippa on it remains to this day.
In addition to Rome, the famous city of Cologne in today's Germany was also built by Agrippa when he was stationed there.
Augustus first married his niece to Agrippa, and then to his only daughter, Julia, to Agrippa, who gave birth to a daughter named Agrippina (the Eldest), to Germanicus, to Agrippina the Younger, to Nero.
Agrippa died 26 years before Augustus, and Augustus buried Agrippa (ashes) in his mausoleum, which shows the deep friendship between the two.
The statue of Emperor Tiberius, found in Rome, Italy, dates from about 4-37 AD.
The head of The Great Drusus, found in Athens, Greece, dates from about 25-50 AD.
Drusus the Elder (38BC-9BC), born to Augustus's wife Levia and her ex-husband, was not related to Augustus by blood and was considered an adopted son. The Emperor Tiberius (Tiberius), his brother-in-law, was initially not interested in succession to the throne, and if Drussus had not died prematurely, perhaps he would have succeeded Augustus, not Tiberius.
In 9 BC, Drusus died on the Germanic front, and his son Claudius became Emperor of Rome after the assassination of Caligula and married Agrippina the Younger, with Nero becoming his adopted son and successor emperor.
Bust of Claudius, found in Italy, dates from about 37-54 AD.
The statue was originally made for his predecessor Caligula, who was sentenced to memory after being stabbed to death, and the statue of Caligula was changed to Claudius' so very few statues of Caligula have survived.
When his nephew, the tyrant Caligula, was stabbed to death in front of his eyes, the Guards pushed him to emperor. Claudius later married Agrippina the Younger, and it is suspected that Agrippina the Younger poisoned him and was succeeded by his son Nero.
The head of Livella, found on the Greek island of Samos, dates from about 20-30 AD.
Livilla (13BC-AD31), granddaughter of Livia, daughter of Drussus the Great and Antonia the Younger (Antonia Jr. is The Younger Antonia). Daughter of Anthony and Octavian's sister, Hut Dawei), sister of Germanicus, sister of Claudius.
Livella married Tiberius' son, Drussus the Younger (second marriage).
According to Tacitus, Livella was a beautiful and ambitious woman with many scandals, and I won't say more here. The sculpture's hairstyle resembles that of her mother, Little Antonia.
The statue is presumed to be from the Julius-Claudius period, with the head and body placed together in modern times, most likely Gaius Caesar, the grandson of Augustus, between 5BC-AD14 and the age of the body in a military uniform between 69 and 90 AD.
Agrippa and Julia (Octavian's daughter) had two sons, Gaius. Caesar and Lucius. Caesar, who was Augustus's favorite successor, did not expect both to die young. The heir to the latter rank was Grand Drussus, and finally Tiberius.
The Roman emperors after Nero no longer had caesar or Augustus lineage, i.e. the julius-Claudius dynasty ended. The emperor in the back is placed in the next article.
