An 18th century weathered carved marble portrait bust of the Roman emperor Vitellius, naturalistically carved wearing a laurel wreath in his hair and a gown tied at his neck, on a scrolled socle base, inscribed SERGIVS GALBA, 97cm tall Provenance: removed from the grounds of Point House, in Attleborough, Norfolk. Despite the inscription to the base, for the Roman Emperor Servius Sulpicius Galba, who ruled briefly from A.D. 68 to 69, the likeness of this portrait would suggest that it is more likely to be Vitellius.
