EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait head, a modern reconstruction of the third Roman Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, also known as Caligula, graces the halls of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Born in AD 12, Caligula was the grand-nephew and adopted heir of the renowned Emperor Tiberius. He assumed the throne at the tender age of 24 following Tiberius's resignation in AD 37. Caligula's reign, which lasted from AD 37 to 41, was marked by controversy and uncertainty. His rule was characterized by extravagance, capriciousness, and alleged cruelty. Despite these controversies, this portrait showcases the youthful and vibrant energy of the emperor. The intricately detailed features, including the piercing gaze and the well-defined facial structure, evoke a sense of strength and determination. The portrait is believed to have been created during the 1st century AD, offering a glimpse into the artistic mastery of Roman craftsmanship during the Julio-Claudian dynasty. The use of color and the subtle shading in this bust add depth and dimension, bringing the portrait to life and allowing us to connect with the enigmatic figure of Caligula. Caligula's reign was short-lived, but his impact on Roman history was significant. This portrait, a testament to the artistic and historical importance of the Roman Empire, continues to captivate and intrigue visitors to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.
