UNKNOWN ROMAN PORTRAITS.
175
short locks. The pupils of the eyes are strongly marked.
The nose is mutilated. The work is late and poor.
Marble. Height, 10j inches.
1943. Portrait statue of Roman, in civil costume, perhaps a
Consul. The figure is of heroic size, clad in a tunic and
toga, which is wrapped round the body, passing over the
left shoulder and arm and hand. The right arm is
muffled in drapery. The left hand, which is restored,
holds a roll. The feet are covered with close-fitting shoes,
over which is drawn a kind of loose gaiter, reaching from
the instep to above the ankle. The head has been re-
joined, but appears to belong to the figure. The hair is
short and thin. The beard is short and close. The
features are those of a man of advanced middle age, and
are of strongly-marked character, but the person repre-
sented has not been recognised. 1st cent. b.c. (?).—Pre-
sented by W. P. Williams Freeman, Esq., 1854.
Marble. Height, 7 feet inches. Restored: nose, ears, part of
neck, left hand with roll, and many parts of the drapery. Said
to have been formerly in the Arundel Collection (Synojysis, 1855?
p. 88). Mansell, No. 1249 ; Grceco-Roman Guide, I., No. 9 :
Brunn, Dcnhnaeler, No. 170.
1944. Portrait statue of an unknown figure, in military
costume. The figure is that of a man of middle age, with
short curling hair, beard and moustache. The head is
half turned to his left. He wears a tunic with short
sleeves, a plain cuirass with long flaps, terminating in
wool fringes, at waist and shoulders, a military cloak,
fastened on the right shoulder and falling over the left
arm, and high boots of panther skin. There is a stump
beside the right leg. The sculpture is rough, the back is
flat, and hardly worked. 2nd cent. a.d.—Obtained at the
Capitulation of Alexandria, 1801.
Parian marble. Height, 6 feet 4£ inches.
