EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze statue that depicts the emperor Tiberius dressed as a pope. Preserved in the renowned National Archaeological Museum of Naples, this work originated from Herculaneum, offering us a glimpse into the rich history of ancient civilizations. Dating back to the Julio-Claudian Period during 14-37 AD, this sculpture is an exquisite example of Roman art and craftsmanship. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from Tiberius' regal gesture and his choice of instrument for communication to his elaborate costume and fashion choices. His sandals and accessories further emphasize his status as a male figure of great importance. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of Tiberius but also in its depiction of political power and social hierarchy during the imperial period. As one gazes upon this portrait, it becomes apparent that Tiberius was more than just an emperor; he was also a symbol representing the empire's grandeur.

It serves as a testament to our fascination with famous individuals who have shaped societies throughout centuries.

This particular piece offers glimpses into both personal identity and societal structures within ancient Rome. In conclusion, Alinari's print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance behind this bronze statue depicting Emperor Tiberius dressed as a pope – an intriguing blend of two influential roles within society.
