A newly conserved bust of an Antonine period military commander (140-160 CE) at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, California is now on display. The cloak, known as a paludamentum, worn over the left shoulder signifies that this man was a military commander. His short beard and tousled hair were fashionable during the reign of the emperor Antoninus Pius (138-161 CE), providing an approximate date for the sculpture. - Getty Villa Bust of a Roman military commander (140-160 CE) at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, California
