Bust of Pisistratus, Roman plaster cast of original 5th-century Greek marble statue.

While there is dispute about the exact figure depicted by this bust, its likeness has been attributed to Pisistratus (c. 600-527 BCE), the populist tyrant of ancient Athens who three times ruled the ancient Greek city-state.
