Greece, Classical Period, ca. 5th to 4th century BCE. A striking Chalcidian helmet comprised of hammered tinned bronze, so named as this helmet form was initially depicted on pottery believed to derive from the Euboean city of Chalcis. This form of helmet is distinguished by its curved cheekpieces, attached here by thin bronze pins that form a hinge. A teardrop-shaped nose guard extends down from raised curves demarcating the eyes. The forehead has a sweeping central ridge and an overhanging brow line. Curves on the sides allow the ears to be left open, improving battlefield communication. Uniquely, this example has incised square motifs on the exterior of its earflaps - these look like a personal touch, perhaps made by the helmet's original owner as an identification mark. Size: 10.45" L x 4.75" W x 9.75" H (26.5 cm x 12.1 cm x 24.8 cm); 17.35" H (44.1 cm) on included custom stand.During this time period, Greece was divided into city states who warred with one another and foreign powers like Persia. Alongside the remarkable artistic and philosophical achievements that we remember today, innovations in weaponry and armor changed the nature of war. The Chalcidian helmet was an improvement over the earlier Corinthian style, allowing improved hearing and vision. Mass production of bronze items like this helmet and shields led to the creation of the phalanx, a wave of intimidating shielded warriors marching side by side. Each helmet of this style was made to fit its wearer's head. The interior would have been lined with leather to serve as a cushion against blows (and against the uncomfortable metal rubbing on top of someone's head!). The owner would have hung the helmet in his home and would have been buried with it after his death. When worn, it probably had some kind of adornment like a feather comb. This style was still being worn by some soldiers, notably hoplites, during the time of Alexander the Great.Exhibited in "Dressed to Kill in Love and War: Splendor in the Ancient World", February 1 - March 31, 2019, Academy Art Museum, Maryland, USA, published in the exhibition guide by Sarah E.

Roman, Republican Period, ca. late 1st century BCE. A marble head of an elderly man from a relief - similar to Republican portraits of Julius Caesar found on coinage of the state (the Roman Senate made Caesar the first living Roman whose image was portrayed on state coinage in 44 BCE). Note his clean-shaven haggard visage, wrinkles upon his forehead, folded baggy skin on this neck, and a receding hairline with closely cropped hair that is combed forward from the crown of his head and finely delineated with incised wavy locks. The veristic rendering of his visage is a product of keen observation on the part of the sculptor. Note the furrows across his forehead, those deep-set, large, almond-shaped eyes beneath full brows, his pursed thin lips flanked by nasolabial creases, and overall gaunt face with pronounced cheek bones and pointy chin. Further conveying his advanced age are the wrinkles surrounding the Adam's apple on his neck. The epitome of Republican "warts and all" portraiture! Size: 10" H (25.4 cm); 16.25" H (41.3 cm) on included custom stand.This remarkably realistic representation suggests that the portrait may have been created during his lifetime or very soon after death, perhaps taken from a death mask. The sculptors' "warts and all" approach which may seem unflattering to modern eyes, was extremely popular during the late Republic and Early Empire periods. Such realistic portraits were created to preserve records of elite members of society such as senators, generals, and other high-ranking officials.In the Classical world, portraiture served two main functions - all depended upon whether the subject was dead or alive. Images of the deceased were created for ancestral worship and kept in a private or family context. Ancestral busts preserved the individual's contributions and legitimized the family line. Sometimes masks of important ancestors were worn at funeral processions. Images of the living, on the other hand, were placed in public contexts, as a means of commemorating the individual's might, oftentimes honoring a military victory or public benefaction. For example, sculptures of Augustus and successive emperors served to advertise and affirm their power.Cf. a similar sized portrait of an old man from a tomb relief, said to be from Rome, now in the Metropolitan Museum, inventory number 17.230.133.A portrait bust depicting Julius Caesar that is very similar in style and likeness to this example hammered at 160,000 Euro at Gorny & Mosch (June 2014) - https://www.gmcoinart.de/auction/STEINSKULPTUR_Portr%C3%A4t%20des%20Gaius%20Julius%20Caesar.aspx?los=10&lager=00108&ActiveID=106&lang=enThe description translates as follows: "In 44 BC. the Roman Senate voted to make Caesar the first living Roman to be portrayed on the coinage of the state. Immediately, the Roman mint began to churn out money with variations on the new theme, the dictators portrait. Nevertheless the research seems to be still quite diffuse as an official effigy was not published during his lifetime. The portraits that appear on republican coins can be referred for comparison, although they show great individuality of features. But despite all differences they have three important characteristics in common: They show Caesars head in profile right, a haggard face with wrinkled forehead, prominent nose and a long narrow neck with folds of baggy skin. This is exactly what Suetonius relates (Divus Iulius, Cap. 45):while his baldness was a disfigurement which troubled him greatly, since he found that it was often the subject of the gibes of his detractors. Because of it he used to comb forward his scanty locks from the crown of his head . The present marble head reflects the high cheekbones with the sunken cheeks, the aquiline nose, the broad mouth and the individual wrinkled skin of the neck. All of these features are comparably found in authenticated portraits as well (cf. E. Boehringer, Der Caesar von Acireale [1933] Taf. 25-29). Exactly for these reasons the designation of this portrait head as Gaius Iulius Caesar appears to be secured. As it bears all the characteristics of republican portrait art it must have been created during the dictators lifetime or very soon after his death. It originates presumably from a statue. Especially in Asia Minor Caesar gained great popularity by freeing the cities from the Roman tax collectors excessive demands as well as by granting privileges to the leading municipalities. The cities repaid the Clementia Caesaris with the erection of statues and other honours (cf. K. Tuchelt, Frühe Denkmäler Roms in Kleinasien 1: Roma und Romagistrate [1979] Nr. 45-54; statues in Alabanda, Ephesos, Pergamon, Phokaia and Smyrna). In most cases the only reminders of them are the inscriptions on their bases whilst the presevation of a head like this one is a very rare exception." Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-William Froelich collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 1970s Condition: Losses to back, sides, neck, and high-pointed areas such as the nose and ears as shown. Expected surface wear commensurate with age, though the visage is still quite strong with realistic features and countenance.
