Titus Caesernius Stantianus II - [ca 135 AD]
Titus Caesernius Statianus (c. AD 105 - ?) was a Roman politician, senator and friend of Emperor Hadrian.
Statianus native of Aquileia, and was a son of the knight Titus Caesernius Macedo, who was in the year 107 Caesariensis Procurator of Mauretania.
The portrait can be identified as depicting the same person found on a relief portraying the Emperor Hadrian hunting and surrounded by companions. His face is modeled with many nuances. It shows highly individual features.
During the Hadrian’s rule, Roman portraiture began to depict eyes not only by painting them but by modeling them: here the pupil is kidney-shaped and the iris is indicated by a delineated circle.
