| Description |
Afrikaans: Oorspronklik deel van 'n groot ruitermonument. Ons kan ons indink dat dit 'n algemene gesig vir 'n antieke waarnemer was: imponerende publieke beeldhouwerk wat die burgerlike waardes van imperiale Rome beliggaam. Militêre amptenare is dikwels op perde uitgebeeld en die ruiter op hierdie monument was besmoontlik 'n lid van die keiserfamilie. Sulke beelde bevat groot hoeveelhede brons, en meeste daarvan is later in krisistye gesmelt vir hergebruik in wapens en ander werktuie.
English: Originally part of a large equestrian monument, this head allows us to imagine what was a common sight for the ancient viewer: imposing public statuary that embodied the civic values of imperial Rome. Military officials were often depicted on horseback, and the rider that was represented on the monument was likely a member of the imperial family. Such statues contained large amounts of bronze, and most were melted down for reuse in weapons and other implements in later times of crisis. |
