Frontispiece: The so-called Chiaramonti Caesar, a marble portrait bust of Julius Caesar from the Vati can Museums. It was probably made between 30 and 20 B.C.E., after his death. Coda: A marble bust from the mid-40s B.C.E. that is the only known portrait of Caesar done during his lifetime. It is often referred to as the Tusculum portrait because of its excavation at the forum in Tus culum (in modern Latium, Italy) in 1825. Copyright© 2017 by Robert B. Strassler and Kurt A.
