Summary[edit]

Description

Provenance: From Rome, near the church of S. Stefano Rotondo Acquisition data: In the Capitoline since 1671 Inventory: inv. MC0054 This is the only statue that shows the emperor Hadrianus as offeror; his depiction with his head covered refers to his specific public religious function of Pontifex maximus.

The larger-than-life statue shows the emperor Hadrian standing, resting on his left leg, his right leg slightly behind and moved to the side; his arms have been partly restored, his left bent at the elbow is extended forward presently holding a scroll, his right probably extended downwards, alongside his body: now his hand holds a patera.

The emperor wears a long tunic with sleeves down to his elbows. His feet are uncovered and he is wearing calcei patricii ; he is wearing a toga on top of the tunic, characterized by the wide balteus animated by full folds, falling from his left shoulder and wrapping around his right side, while on his back a wide raised border veils his head.

The sculpture falls into the category of portrait-like models, said model having been defined as “Typus Baiae”, known by approximately twenty copies, characterized by the close-cropped beard and the full locks of hair on the forehead, by the eyes with carved irises and the pupil indicated by a semicircular indentation and dated between AD 130-140, as is the statue.
