Illustration
A marble portrait of Vespasian (r. 69 to 79 CE) found at Lucus Feroniae (an ancient Roman colony near Rome). This portrait, carved in a high-quality Parian marble, was refashioned from the Emperor Nero (r. 54 to 68 CE) into the likeness of the Emperor Vespasian following Nero's Damnatio Memoriae.
