Archivo: Ritratto di Claudio II il Gotico - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto (cropped)

Descripción: Bust of Claudius II "the Gothic" (268-270 A.D.) or most probably of Marcus Aurelius Probus, considering the similarity to the bust of Musei Capitolini in Rome. The gilded bronze portraits, five of Roman emperors and one of an empress, were hidden beneath the Capitoline temple in Brescia, together with other bronze objects, to prevent the consequences of a possible sack of the town in the 4th or 5th century, and unearthed only in 1826. They are now exhibited in the archaeological Santa Giulia Museum, in Brescia, Italy. Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, June 25 2011.
