This bust depicts Philip V King of Macedon wearing a Phrygian-style helmet, which was common among the Macedonians. Philip V was king from 221 to 179 BC. This bust of Aristotle is a marble Roman copy after a Greek bronze original by Lysippos from 330 BC. However, Philip’s reign was principally marked by an unsuccessful struggle with the emerging power of the Roman Republic. Philip, as a young man, was a charismatic and courageous warrior, and he was inevitably compared to Alexander the Great.

Mark bought it in 1995 from Mayfair antique dealers Mallet, London. They also have a New York showroom. He stated that nobody “needs to be taught what a circle or a triangle is.” People know these concepts naturally, which suggests that they must have learned things like these in a former life.

The portrait of this great warrior and legislator was not known in these days, until this Terminus, and another similar to it , but of a more modern style of sculpture, were discovered 1780 at the pianella [sic, for Pianura] di Cassio before mentioned’ (TY 12/3, street drawing room 20). The inscription actually reads ΠΕΡΙΚΛΗΣ.

Along with his teacher Plato, he is considered the “Father of Western Philosophy.” His writings cover many subjects and provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing before him. Clearly the man was one of the most famously even-keeled of humans; having no fear of the battlefield, after years of combat, or the ongoing domestic battlefield of his home life, he seemingly simply had nothing left to fear. For example, if we have a universal definition of justice, we have a secure basis for not only judging the action of an individual but also for the solid construction of the moral rules of society. He also believed that how humans tend to remember things that they have had no experience of in their lifetimes — referred to as the principle of recollection — proves this hypothesis.A large part of the sculpture at the National Roman Museum consists of the bust of famous people from history.
