Description
English: Portrait of a poet, best known as "pseudo-Seneca": the bust was identified for a very long time with the Roman philosopher Seneca. It was acknowledged as spurrious after the discovery of an inscripted portrait bearing Seneca's name (1813). Roman copy of the 2nd century CE after a Hellenistic original. Found in a river near Auch (France).
Français : Portrait de poète, plus connu sous le nom de « pseudo-Sénèque ». En effet, on a longtemps cru que le buste représentait le philosophe romain, jusqu'à la découverte en 1813 d'un portrait inscrit portant le nom de Sénèque. Il pourrait en fait s'agir d'un poète (Hésiode ?) : une réplique conservée au musée national des Thermes à Rome (inv. 612) porte une couronne de lierre, attribut des poètes. Copie romaine du IIe siècle ap. J.-C. d'un original hellénistique. Découvert dans le lit d'une rivière à Auch (France).
