- Summary
- "The collection of Roman sculpture in The Art Museum, Princeton University is one of the finest of any American college or university. Formed by over a century of donations and bequests and augmented by judicious purchases, the collection is rich in variety and includes several important works, including marble portraits of the emperors Augustus and Marcus Aurelius, two rare bronze portraits of women from the reigns of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, an elegant statue of the wine god Dionysos draped with a panther skin, a funerary monument to a victorious charioteer, a monumental marble torso of a general in armor, a relief of the god Silvanus holding the viscera of a sacrificial animal, and marble sarcophagi with reliefs of the infancy of Dionysos and Herakles battling the Centaurs."--Jacket.
