Constantine The Great325-26 CE, Roman Empire
Marble, Height (Head) 8’ 6”
Broken remains in fair condition.
Constantine the Great was Roman Emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324 until his death in 337. Well know in history for being the first Christian Emperor. Constantine commissioned this colossal 30 foot statue of himself. This piece was done on a gran scale and demand attention representing imperial power and dignity with no hint of human frailty or imperfection. this piece would be wonderful for the gallery. I bet the audience would love to take pictures next to the massive body parts of Constantine The Great.
