Summary

Description
English: Colossal male bust, made of white marble covered by a yellowish patina, cut below the neck, h 47 cm. The elaboration of the neck indicates that it might have been part of a statue with toga (the "Sulla Orator" at the Louvre could be a copy of that statue [see François Hinard, Silla, Salerno, Rome, 2003, pp. 267-268]). The nose is missing and the ears are damaged. Copy from c. 40 B.C. of an original from the 2nd century B.C. (the style of the hair suggests that it might be from Hadrian's reign). The identification with Sulla, roman dictator between 82 and 81 B.C., comes from a 1642 engraving in Palazzo Barberini, Rome, where it was exposed in front of a "Marius", now in the Glyptotek in Munich. In 1897 the bust was acquired by the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, its current location, thanks to the mediation of Wolfgang Helbig.
Italiano: Busto virile colossale di marmo bianco, ricoperto da una patina giallognola, tagliato sotto il collo, h 47 cm. La rifinitura del collo indica che potrebbe aver fatto parte di una statua togata (il "Silla oratore" al Louvre potrebbe esserne una copia [vd. François Hinard, Silla, Salerno, Rome, 2003, pp. 267-268]). Manca il naso e le orecchie sono danneggiate. Copia del 40 a.C. circa di un originale del II secolo a.C. (lo stile dei capelli indicherebbe tuttavia che potrebbe essere databile al regno di Adriano). L'identificazione con Silla, dittatore romano tra l'82 e l'81 a.C., origina da un'iscrizione del 1642 nel Palazzo Barberini, a Roma, dove era esposta dirimpetto a un "Mario", attualmente nella Glyptotek di Monaco di Baviera. Nel 1897 il busto fu acquisito dalla Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek a Copenhagen, l'ubicazione attuale, grazie alla mediazione di Wolfgang Helbig.
