Bust - Emperor Nero

This expertly rendered bust portrays Emperor Nero, the controversial fifth Roman emperor who ruled from 54 to 68 AD and marked the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

The sculpture captures the essence of this complex historical figure, notorious for his tyrannical governance, lavish excesses, and moral decadence.

The ornate base features meticulously crafted emblems of Roman imperial power: a chariot symbolizing his passion for racing, a gladiator helmet representing the bloody spectacles he favored, and the Domus Aurea, the extravagant palace that epitomized his opulence and disregard for traditional Roman values.
