Hadrian statue, Pergamon, Bergama, Izmir, Turkey
Detail of Roman statue of the armoured torso of Emperor Hadrian, 117-138 AD, from the acropolis of Pergamon, modern-day Bergama, Izmir, Turkey. The armour is decorated with a griffon design. Pergamon had been in decline when Hadrian declared it a metropolis and embarked on building programs including temples, a stadium, a theatre, the forum and an amphitheatre. He was also worshipped at the Trajaneum and a monumental statue of Hadrian was found here. Picture by Manuel Cohen
