EDITORS COMMENTS
This sculpture portrays Marcus Cocceius Nerva, the first emperor of the Nervan-Antonian Dynasty, who ruled the Roman Empire from 96 to 98 AD. The statue, a testament to the artistic prowess of the imperial era, is currently housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Nerva, born around 27 AD, was a distinguished figure in the Roman political scene, having served as a consul, governor, and senator before ascending to the throne at the age of 65. His reign was marked by significant political and social reforms, including the adoption of Trajan as his successor and the establishment of the first Roman pension system for soldiers and the poor. In this sculpture, Nerva is depicted wearing the traditional Roman toga, the symbol of his status as a senator and emperor. The intricately detailed folds of the toga reveal the artist's mastery of the medium, while the serene expression on Nerva's face conveys a sense of wisdom and authority. The statue is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe, which continues to captivate and inspire generations. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, with its impressive collection of ancient art, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and art of the Roman Empire and the imperial era. Marcus Cocceius Nerva's legacy extends beyond his brief reign, as he is remembered as a compassionate and forward-thinking leader who helped shape the course of Roman history. This sculpture is a fitting tribute to a remarkable personage and an important chapter in the annals of the Roman Empire.
