Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A marble statue presumably portraying Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt; the body of the statue is a Roman copy of a Greek original from the end of the 5th century BC, while the head portraying Cleopatra was a later addition. The statue, which apparently depicts Cleopatra VII, was allegedly found on the Via Cassia near the so-called "Tomba di Nerone." Its identification as Cleopatra VII, by virtue of the facial features, "melon" hairstyle, Hellenistic royal diadem, and similarity to her coinage portraits minted during her reign is outlined in the following sources: * G. Lippold. Die Skulpturen des Vaticanischen Museums. Band III 1, Text. Walter de Gruyter, Berlin/Leipzig, 1936. P. 169—171, cat. no. 567. * Curtius, L. "Ikonographische Beitrage zum Portrar der romischen Republik und der Julisch-Claudischen Familie." RM 48 (1933): 182-243. 184 ff. Abb. 3 Taf. 25—27. * Raia, Ann R.; Sebesta, Judith Lynn (September 2017) The World of State[1], College of New Rochelle, archived from the original on 2018-03-06 Inv. No. 179.
