The bust on which the head rests is 18th century, but probably similar to the original. Il busto dovuto a un integrazione settecentesca, ma non deve differire molto da quello antico. La testa composta con forte cura alla composizione del volume, con capelli folti e raggrumati in corti ricci e una barba dall andamento mosso e confuso.

  1. Constitutio Antoniniana

    The Constitutio Antoniniana Latin Constitution or Edict of Antoninus also called the Edict of Caracalla was an edict issued in 212 AD , by the Roman Emperor Caracalla . The law declared that all free men in the Roman Empire were to be given full Roman citizen ship and all free women in Empire were given the same rights as Roman women were. Before 212, for the most part only inhabitants of Italia Roman province Italia held full Roman citizenship. Colonies of Romans established in other provinces, Romans or their descendants living in provinces, the inhabitants of various cities throughout the Empire, and small numbers of local nobles such as kings of client countries held full citizenship also. Provincials, on the other hand, were usually non citizens, although some held the Latin Right . According to Cassius Dio , the only Roman historian to talk about this edict, and with only one sentence, the reasons Caracalla passed this law were mainly to increase the number of people available to tax. In the words of Cassius Dio This was the reason why he made all the people in his empire Roman citizens nominally he was honouring them, but his real purpose was to increase his revenues by this means, inasmuch as aliens did not have to pay most of these taxes. ref http penelope.uchicago.edu Thayer E Roman Texts Cassius Dio 78 .html Cassius Dio, Roman History , book 78, chapter 9. ref It should, however, be noted that Cassius Dio generally saw Caracalla as a bad, contemptible emperor.

The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues and archaeological objects of the Pharaonic funeral cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. Due to the time period, many of the features of the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa merge Roman, Greek and Egyptian cultural points some statues are Egyptian in style, yet bear Roman clothes and hair style whilst other features share a similar style. A circular staircase, which was often used to transport deceased bodies down the middle of it, leads down into the tombs that were tunneled into the bedrock during the age of the Antonine emperors 2nd century AD . The facility was then used as a burial chamber from the 2nd century to the 4th century, before being rediscovered in 1900 when a donkey accidentally fell into the access shaft. To date, three sarcophagus sarcophagi have been found, along with other human and animal remains which were added later. It is believed that the catacombs were only intended for a single family, but it is unclear why the site was expanded in order to house numerous other individuals.
