罗马皇帝君士坦丁一世头像

ca. 325–370 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 169
为了达到他建立新王朝的目标，历史上第一位信奉基督教的皇帝——君士坦丁大帝（公元306 – 37年在位）为罗马帝国建立了新的首都，并以自己的名字将其命名为君士坦丁堡。这座头像原本可能属于一件半身雕像，或者更可能属于一件超过真人大小的雕像。到这一时期，君士坦丁大帝已经为自己选用了一种官方形象，以把自己和异教徒前任区别开来。这座头像上的长脸、整洁的发型、不蓄须的脸庞都在刻意唤起对早期“好”皇帝的记忆，比如奥古斯都（公元前28年至公元14年在位）或图拉真（公元98 –117年在位）。
