| Description |
Deutsch: Der kolossale Einsatzkopf des bärtigen älteren Mannes wurde anhand von Vergleichen mit Darstellungen auf Münzen und Silberschalen als Kaiser Licinius I. identifiziert, der den Osten des Römischen Reiches beherrschte und als Gegner Konstantins des Großen im Jahr 325 umgebracht wurde. Das Bildnis mit nach Soldatenart kurz geschnittenem Haar und Bart, großen vorquellenden Augen und wie zu einer Grimasse verzogenem Mund stammt wahrscheinlich von einer Panzerstatue mit einer rekonstruierten Gesamthöhe von fünf Metern.
English: With the help of portraits on coins and silver vessels this colossal head of a bearded elderly man – originally intended to be inserted into a statue or bust – was identified as a likeness of Emperor Licinus I, who ruled the eastern part of the Empire; an adversary of Constantine the Great, he was murdered in AD 325.
The portrait shows him sporting a cropped beard of the type favored by soldiers, with large protruding eyes and a grimacing mouth; it was presumably originally inserted into a cuirassed statue originally around five metres tall. |
