Illustration
This cuirassed bust of an emperor was installed at the centre of the pediment of the Greater Propylaea at Eleusis (Greece). Although the face is badly damaged, it may be a portrait of the emperor Marcus Aurelius who built the Greater Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the Sanctuary in the 2nd century CE.
