Bust of a Ruler

Around the end of the 2nd cent. AD
Acropolis Museum (Athens, Greece)

The bust was found in the Theatre of Dionysos in 1870 or 1876. It depicts a young man with idealised features. Who the depicted person is remains unknown. Perhaps he was a philhellene ruler or the descendant of a royal family who had more of a spiritual than political connection to Athens.
