Bust of Hadrian
Marble bust of Hadrian wearing military dress, from his private Villa in Tivoli.
A torso of Hadrian
Torso of a statue of Hadrian, found in the north African city Cyrene. This statue was probably displayed in a public space in the city.
Septimius Severus
Statue of Emperor Septimius Severus found at Alexandria. The back of the statue is flat, with no carved detail, suggesting that it was part of a public building or monument, probably placed in a niche and therefore not viewed from behind.
Emperor Constantine
This head of Emperor Constantine was found close to the site of the Principia (the religious and administrative headquarters) of the Roman fortress in York. Due to the severe weathering of the head it has been suggested that the large statue of Constantine stood outside the entrance to this important building.
