DescriptionBronze copy of a late first century BCE bronze Roman copy of a Greek original. The Roman bronze was uncovered at the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum in 1754. It now resides in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN). The Roman bronze copy was initially identified as Seneca the Younger, but most scholars now agree that it is a ficticious portrait, perhaps of either Aristophanes or Hesiod. This copy features inlay for eyes (possibly ivory) and a stone pedestal base (possibly marble).
