Bronze statue of a young man. In ancient Greece and Rome, bronze and marble statues adorned public places and the sanctuaries of the gods. Over the centuries almost all the bronze statues were melted down for re-use. This is one of the very few surviving examples, found in Egypt. The figure is a Roman version of an earlier Greek statue.

RMPA995G–Marble head of Herakles. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: H. 6 3/4 in. (17.1 cm). Date: 1st century A.D.. Small-scale copy of a Greek statue of the early 3rd century B.C. The Greek hero, Herakles, is shown as a beardless young man with sideburns. He has cauliflower ears-disfigured by boxing--and a victory wreath around his head. The head bears a strong resemblance to a group of Roman works, known as the Lenback type, that probably reflect more or less closely a Greek bronze statue of the early Hellenistic period.
