The head and torso of this statuette did not originally go together. The head is a portrait of the Roman Emperor Trajan (r. 98-117 CE). Records of the sculpture, first presumed to be a gladiator, can be traced back to the Venetian Andrea Vendramin and from 1629 CE onwards to the Collection of the Reynst Brothers, Jan and Gerard, in Amsterdam. Marble. Roman, early 2nd century CE. Acquired in 1671 CE from G. Uylenburgh (Amsterdam). It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
