About the Item

This finely crafted bust portrays Emperor Septimius Severus (193–211 CE), founder of the Severan dynasty and one of Rome’s most formidable soldier-emperors. Shown with a stern, commanding expression, curly hair, and a full beard, he wears a draped cloak fastened at the shoulder, emphasizing his authority and imperial stature. The detailed carving of the hair and garments, along with marble and bronze-toned finish, highlights both the realism and dignity characteristic of Roman imperial portraiture.
