From Vespasian
to Trajan
Roman Portraits AD 68–117
The suicide of Nero in 68 led to civil war, with three emperors in a row during 69. An army commander, Vespasian, brought a new dynasty to power, the Flavians, His sons Titus and Domitian succeeded hi, the latter being murdered in 96. A System of adoption was then introduced, with Trajan as the first of the ‘Adoptive Emperors’.
Room 13 has imperial portraits in three typical sizes ,colossal, natural and miniature. Just as typical are the bust and statue formats. Like other emperors, Trajan might appear in the guise of Greek Hero or with divine attributes. Wealthy Romans followed suit: A fine lady might become Venus herself! her coiffure joins others in the room in a show of hairstyles.
