Several details indicate a mismatch: the surfaces and proportions differ, and the head projected awkwardly forward even after modern recarving of the neck to fit into the body cavity. Aspects of the toga also suggest that it was sculpted later than the head. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS id: 111518 Portrait Head of Emperor Vespasian, Recut from Head of Nero, AD 64-79.
