Marble statue of Roman Emperor Hadrian in cuirass from Perge
Museum: Antalya Museum, Turkey
Date: ca. 2nd century AD
Period: Roman Imperial
Publius Aelius Hadrianus (January 24, 76 – July 10, 138), as emperor Imperator Caesar Divi Traiani
filius Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, and Divus Hadrianus after his apotheosis, known as Hadrian in
English, was emperor of Rome from 117 to 138 AD, as well as a Stoic and Epicurean philosopher. A
member of the gens Aelia, Hadrian was the third of the Five Good Emperors, or the second of the
recently proposed ulpio-aelian dynasty. His reign had a faltering beginning, a glorious middle, and a
tragic conclusion.
This sculpture is identical reproduction of the original ancient masterpiece, now housed by the
prominent museum. The statue is composed from mold made from the original, thus guaranteeing
the highest accuracy of identical reproduction. The reproduction pictured here is made of cast
marble, and is extremely heavy and strong, having a real ancient feel. An ancient patina finishing
gives it an additional historical value (you can choose not to have patina applied and keep it all white
if you like). The statue can be displayed both inside and out, it is weatherproofed.
