Marble Head of a Priest of the Imperial Cult in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Marble Head of a Priest of the Imperial Cult
Possibly from Caesarea (Kayseri), Turkey

# MS 215

Tiny busts of 11 divinities decorate the figured crown. This type of crown seems to be most at home in Asia Minor where it is frequently but not exclusively associated with the imperial cult.
