This bust of Pericles, the Athenian statesman and general, is life-size. Four Roman marble copies of the bust survive and possibly a fifth as well. They are copies of a Greek bronze of a full figure by the sculptor Cresilas. The full figure, no longer extant, was likely nude and holding a spear. In the remaining bust, Pericles wears a Corinthian helmet that is pushed back. The bases of two of the copies, those of the British Museum and the Vatican Museums, are inscribed with Pericles’s name written in Greek. Our reproduction is a copy of the bust in the British Museum.
