Description
Images of the bronze head from a statue of Septimius Severus, which has been on display at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen for over 50 years. The Roman Emperor's head has recently become a point of contention between the Danish museum and Turkey, which claims it was looted during an archaeological dig in the country in the 1960 and is seeking its return. The statue spent decades in the United States, before being returned to Turkey without its head, but Danish experts are not so sure that the torso and head in question are, in fact, from the same specimen.
