Commodus, the infamous Roman Emperor who ruled from 180 to 192 AD, was a complex and controversial figure in history. Known for his eccentricities and extravagant lifestyle, he left an indelible mark on the Roman Empire. One of the most iconic representations is captured in a marble bust depicting him as Hercules. This sculpture showcases his muscular physique and highlights his fascination with Greek mythology. Another bust portrays Commodus in all his regal glory, showcasing his distinctive features and imperial presence. Coins minted during Commodus' reign also provide insight into his rule. An aureus coin portrays him as a powerful leader, while a sestertius coin depicts him at different stages of his reign. These coins serve as tangible reminders of Commodus' authority and influence over the empire. Portraits of both Commodus himself and Lucius Verus, co-emperor alongside him, offer glimpses into their shared power dynamic. The intricate engravings capture their distinct personalities and emphasize their status as rulers. Claudius Galen's bust serves as another connection to Commodus' reign since Galen served as the emperor's personal physician. This association sheds light on the emperor's interest in medicine and healthcare during this time period.
