Titolo: | Late Roman portrait heads from the theatre of Sparta (M4856 & M3964) | Estremo cronologico iniziale: | 300 | Estremo cronologico finale: | 300 | Periodo storico: | Early Byzantine/Late Antique Period | Descrizione: | M 4856 (right) is roughly life-size and was found close to the central doorway of the rooms behind the stage. It is broken off at the juncture with the neck. The head clearly shows distinctive personal features. It portrays an early middle-aged man with short-cut hair, whiskers, beard, and moustache. The hair is roughly rendered in sort crisp curls. The large eyes are deeply set in sharply cut eyelids. The iris is indicated by a segment of an incised circle intersected by the upper lid, and the pupil by a smaller circle sharply cut close under the upper lid. The mouth forms a straight line pulled back at the corners showing a light smile. Chronological details: Tetrarchic, circa 300 |
