Summary[edit]

Description

This huge marble head belonged to a statue in the temple of Artemis in Sardis, in present-day Turkey. She represents Faustina the Elder, wife of Emperor Antoninus Pius (reign: 138-161 AD). The temple also housed a statue of the latter. Both

statues must have been about four meters high. During the reign of Antoninus Pius, Sardis was granted the privilege to gain the status of a provincial center dedicated to the cult of the emperor. The Temple of Artemis thus became the heart of this cult. Marble. 140 AD. Sardis. Now in the British Museum, inv. 1936.0310.1. Picture taken at the Oog in oog met de Romeinen (Eye to Eye with the Romans) Exhibition in the Gallo-Romeins Museum of Tongres.
