EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite marble bust depicts Antoninus Pius (86-161 AD), the Roman Emperor who ruled from 138 to 161 AD. Antoninus Pius was the second emperor of the Antonine Dynasty, which began with the adoption of Nerva by Trajan in 96 AD and continued with the reigns of Hadrian, Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. Born in Lanuvium, Italy, as Marcus Annius Verus, Antoninus Pius was adopted by his uncle, the Emperor Lucius Verus, in 138 AD. He assumed the throne upon Lucius Verus' death and ruled for twenty-three years, a period marked by relative peace and stability. Antoninus Pius is often remembered for his patronage of the arts, literature, and philosophy. He was a devout and pious man, and his reign saw the completion of many public works and the expansion of the Roman Empire's borders. He was also known for his fair and just rule, earning him the title "Pius" or "Dear" from the Roman people. This portrait of Antoninus Pius, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States, shows the emperor with a mature, bearded face, wearing the traditional Roman imperial crown. The intricate details of the bust, including the folds of the toga and the texture of the hair, demonstrate the skill of the Roman sculptors of the time. Antoninus Pius was succeeded by his adopted son, Marcus Aurelius, who is perhaps better known today for his philosophical writings. The Antonine Dynasty continued until the death of Commodus in 192 AD, marking a period of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire.
