A striking early 20th-century bust of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, better known as Caracalla, who ruled as Roman Emperor from 198 to 217 AD. This finely sculpted representation captures the intense expression and strong features of Caracalla, reflecting his reputation as a formidable and controversial ruler.
Caracalla, the elder son of Emperor Septimius Severus and Empress Julia Domna, was a key figure of the Severan dynasty, first serving as co-emperor alongside his father before ruling alone after 211 AD. This bust, inspired by classical Roman portraiture, embodies the power and authority of his reign, making it an excellent addition for collectors of historical and neoclassical sculpture.
