Relief sculptures of important personalities
Busts of great politicians, military leaders, deities and the like have been made since time immemorial. They were meant to remind the viewers of their deeds and to be a reminder to the people. What might the great Caesars of later antiquity have thought at the sight of their glorious predecessors? Did Emperor Marcus Aurelius find inspiration in meditating on the busts of his predecessors? A question as exciting as it will never be answered.

Emperor Vespasian
Without question, Emperor Vespasian is one of the most interesting figures of Roman antiquity. Born on November 17, 9 in the Latin town of Falacrinae near Rome, Vespasian was to become the first emperor whose family did not come from the rank of senators. Vespasian's ambition and intelligence brought him early to higher positions in the military hierarchy. He demonstrated his skills in various campaigns and in 42 was given the supreme command of the II. Legion Augusta, with which he took part in the conquest of Britain a short time later. The year 69 was not a quiet year for the Roman Empire. Civil war, bloody power plays and similar political complications took their toll. Nevertheless, in the turmoil of the Four Emperors' Year, Vespasian was able to assert himself as sole ruler and prove himself particularly capable. Popular with the people and the army, he ruled the Roman Empire until his natural death, a rarity among Roman emperors, on June 23, 79. He was succeeded by his son Titus, who was as capable as he was wise.
Tip for the bust
To get the full effect of the bust, you should give it enough space and light. Squeezed into the crowded shelf in the back room, it does not look as sublime as on a spacious and open area in the sunshine.
