Your channel has just become my new favourite. A very happy new subscriber, thank you for sharing these great videos with the rest of the world. A real treasure trove, and I can see that I'm going to be spending much time here!
Most people are just interested in the empirial time of roman history. Before the 500 years of being an Empire, Rome was a Republic for 450 years and before the republican time, it was a kingdom for almost 300 years.
If you mean, Marble Bust of a Bearded Man, well, sadly, we don't know much. He lives at The Met at the moment: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/256911
I wish you had discussed why you are certain this bronze head is from the '4th-3rd century B.C.E.' Surely bronze can't be carbon-dated. And your narrative implies that we don't know where this head was found, nor anything about its provenance, except that it has been known as 'Brutus' since the 16th century.
I cannot get enough of these commentaries. Very astute. Thank you for sharing. Merci du Québec!
This sculpture is cool.Thank you Beth Harris and Steven Zucker.

My favorite one from the Musei Capitolini along with the statue of Marcus Aurelius and the capitoline wolf.

@@smarthistory-art-history Sad indeed, but that's okay. I suppose I'm not as interested in him as I am his great-great-great-great-great grandson. 🥰
