3D modely ARTMarble Head of Herodotos at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkTitle Marble bust of Herodotos Artist Roman, Unknown Date 2nd century A.D. Copy of a Greek bronze staue of the 1st half of the 4th century B.C. Medium Marble Dimensions Unknown Accession # 91.8 Credit Gift of George F. Baker 1891. Found in Benha, ancient Athibis, Lower Egypt Inscribed HERODOTOS Herodotos (ca. 484-424 B.C.) of Halikarnassos achieved fame in his lifetime for his Histories, which chronicle the Greek wars with Persia in the first quarter of the fifth century B.C. and the years surrounding those momentous events. His most brilliant and original accomplishment was his conception of a narrative that interweaves local traditions in a span of more than seventy years and encompasses much of the world known to the ancient Greeks through fact and fiction. Cicero called him the father of history. This work is one of numerous extant Roman copies that stem from a Greek statue, probably of the first half of the fourth century B.C. Portraits of Herodotos also appear on Roman bronze coins from Halikarnassos. (source, accompanying text from Metropolitan Museum of Art) náhodný výběr modelů
