Old Museum of Berlin (part VI), statue of the Roman Emperor (after Domitian)

Pick up the previous article and continue to the statue of the Roman Emperor at the Old Museum in Berlin.

Bust of Emperor Domitian, dated around 81-96 AD, was purchased by Paris in 1815.

Domitian was basically in this statue shape from the beginning to the end of his reign.

Domitian (51-96), also translated by Domitian, is titus's younger brother, who succeeded to the throne as Roman emperor after Titus' death in 81 AD, and in 96 AD, Domitian was assassinated, and the senate elected the elderly and childless Nevar to succeed him. Since then, the Roman Empire has entered the happy "Five Wise Emperors" period.

The Roman Emperor Hadrian, dated around 120-130 AD, came from Rome.

The head is dark green basalt, and the bronze statue below is matched with a 19th-century armor.

The Roman emperor began to grow a beard since Hadrian, expressing his admiration and love for Greek culture. So the Roman emperors before Hadrian did not have beards.

Hadrian (76-138), the third of the Five Wise Emperors, was Trajan's adopted son. A very important figure in history, with many stories, will not be unfolded here (Introduction to "Three Thousand Years of Jerusalem",14-(4) Hadrian: The Jerusalem Plan).

The marble statue is a bust of Antinous, dating from about 130-140 AD and from Rome in the 18th century.

Here is some explanation of who Antinuus was, he was not a Roman emperor, he was only the male lover of the emperor Hadrian, Hadrian had an empress (Trajan's niece), but his feelings for Antinous far exceeded that of his queen Sabina, like the historical Alexander and Heffistian.

On October 24, 130 AD, Hadrian took his little lover on a tour of the Nile, when Antinoeus accidentally fell into the water and died.

Grief-stricken, Hadrian ordered the site where Antinous drowned to be named Antinopolis (now El-Shaikh Ebada on the east bank of the Nile in central Egypt) and erected a large number of nude statues of Antineus throughout the empire, an act that even sparked a Jewish uprising.

Due to the large number of statues of Antineus, his statues can be seen in many museums in the world today.

This fully nude statue is also of Antineus, also dated between 130 and 140 AD, and was acquired by Rome in 1766.

It needs to be explained that most of the nude statues in Roman times were gods, and if they were human, they were generally emperors who were canonized after death, and ordinary people like Antineus were can only be Hadrian's beloved.

Hadrian was Trajan's cousin, who, after taking Hadrian as his adopted son, married his niece to Hadrian. Hadrian and Sabina were also distant relatives.

In 128 AD, Sabina was awarded the title of Augusta, and she had no children with Hadrian, and Hadrian had a deeper relationship with Antineus than the empress.

Empress Faustina the Elder, 140-160 years old, acquired by Paris in 1742.

Faustina, Hadrian's niece, the fourth Antony of the Five Wise Emperors of Rome. The queen of the Pius (Antoninus Pius), their daughter was also called Faustina, so in history the mother was called the Great Faustina and the daughter was called the Little Faustina. Little Faustina later married the last of the Five Wise Emperors, Marco. Aurelius.

Faustina the Great died in 140 AD, was given the title of Augusta by the Senate, and was deified, and due to Faustina's high prestige, her hairstyle was popular at the time, so the statue also survived.

Little Faustina for husband Marco. Aurelius had 13 children, one of whom was the famous tyrant Commodus, and many films have his prototypes, such as Gladiator.

What is more interesting is that the last four of the Five Wise Emperors were all adopted sons of the previous emperors, and only Kang Maode was the son of the previous emperor, and as a result, the prosperity ended and the war began, I don't know if it is a coincidence.
