Following the boy emperor Gordian, Philip the Arab’s maturity is emphasised in this portrait. His military character is represented by the close-cropped hair, stubble and creased face, while the far-away look in his eyes shows the aspirational nature of an emperor. This cast from The SMK is a cropped version of an original bust from the Chiaramonti Museum (ORIG2488) So-called as he was born in Syria of Arabian descent, Philip the Arab spent much of his reign (244-249) engaged in military campaigns to repel invaders, and died in a military coup
