We do not know if there was ever a portrait of Socrates that survived. Only a statue raised in his memory by the Athenians, half a century after his death, and which was due to the art of Lysippus, is attested. Did she represent him as he was? Plato and Aristotle had noted some features of his physique that would correspond to the oldest known type of his portraits. These spread widely in the ancient world, especially in Roman times.

Musée Saint-Raymond
Musée Saint-Raymond (in English, Saint-Raymond museum) is the archeological museum of Toulouse, opened in 1892. The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
