Portrait Bust of the Emperor Hadrian
Marble
Roman, Hadrianic period
ca. A.D. 118-120
Found in Hadrian's villa at Tibur (modern Tivoli, near Rome)
This bust shows Hadrian in the early part of his reign, when his beard was still relatively short and his face had a serene expression. Romans generally shaved off their beards when they reached maturity in their mid-twenties. Hadrian was the first emperor to continue to wear one and so started a fashion that persisted in imperial portraitu
