This majestic head of Emperor Titus is a breathtaking fragment of an acrolith statue, possibly depicting a dignified man draped in a toga, towering at approximately 3.70 metres high. Conceived by a skilled Athenian artist, this masterpiece was skillfully crafted from prized marble sourced from the island of Thassos. Acrolith statues are characterized by their striking contrast, featuring intricately carved marble extremities - including the head, hands, and feet - while the rest of the body is fashioned from sturdy wood.
