1st Century BC: A Timeless Gaze from the Past - The Enigmatic Figure of C. Julius Caesar or L. Cornelius Sulla This marble bust, identified as either C. Julius Caesar (102/100-44 BC) or L. Cornelius Sulla (c. 138-78 BC), invites us to delve into the rich history of ancient Rome. Housed in the esteemed Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, this masterpiece of art transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Roman Republic. Caesar and Sulla were two of the most influential figures in Roman history, each leaving indelible marks on the political landscape of the ancient world. Caesar, renowned for his military prowess and political acumen, played a pivotal role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Sulla, as a dictator, implemented significant political and social reforms, laying the groundwork for Caesar's eventual rise to power. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the true identity of this enigmatic figure, the bust exudes an air of authority and power. The intricately carved features, including the furrowed brow and intense gaze, suggest a man of great intellect and determination. The sculptor's mastery of marble is evident in the subtle nuances of the bust's profile, from the delicate contours of the nose to the meticulously rendered folds of the toga. As we stand before this ancient work of art, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of the Romans and their civilization. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's acquisition of this bust is a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving the rich history of Europe and the world. Whether it portrays Caesar or Sulla, this bust serves as a powerful reminder of the political policies, power struggles, and artistic achievements that defined the Roman Republic and paved the way for the Roman Empire.
