DESCRIPTION:
Torso of a life-size round sculpture, carved in marble, representing a male character. He wears trousers, a leather cuirass, and a chlamys, an unusual combination found only in representations of high-ranking soldiers on historical reliefs from the times of Trajan and Antoninus Pius (fig. 1), in the first half of the 2nd century. AD
The sculptural work is magnificent, although the most delicate parts of the work have been lost, such as the head and hands. The folds of the chlamyd are heavy, very expressive, and curve parallel over the chest and in a V-shape towards the knees, giving the figure a monumentality, a solemn and heroic air typical of the character represented. This prominence of the garment, as well as the work of the folds, can be found in contemporary works that represent mythical or real heroes (fig. 2). Perhaps the reference for this way of representing the chlamys, falling vertically and completely hiding the body, are certain Greek representations of the god Hermes, of which Roman copies are preserved (fig. 3).
On the other hand, the arrangement of the upper part of the cloak, which falls on the chest, forming differentiated folds in this area, is an expressive resource that can be found in other portraits of the period, both full-length, breaking with the excessive uniformity of the front, like a bust, where this resource takes on special relevance due to the composition itself, becoming in fact an ornamental element (fig. 4).
The breastplate is hidden under the cloak, although it appears worked with care and detail, with great attention to volumetric play. Above the knee that is preserved, the fine trousers are wrinkled, accentuating the slight movement of the leg. The back of the sculpture presents only outlined volumes and an unpolished surface, which indicates that it is a work to be seen from the front, intended to be placed in front of a wall or in a niche or niche.
The Roman military commanders traditionally used the cuirass together with the chlamys, the latter garment already worn by the cavalry in Greece. However, the use of pants is much later. Although in the time of Cicero this garment was rejected by the Romans because it belonged to barbarians (it was identifying the Gauls), with the expansion of the Kingdom its use began to spread among the Roman troops for practical reasons, especially on the battlefields of the north. Some of the first evidence of the use of this garment by Roman soldiers can be found on Trajan's Column in Rome (fig. 5), which shows the emperor's triumph over the Dacians of present-day Romania. In this representation, as mentioned above, only the generals and prominent soldiers appear wearing them, while the common soldiers wear simpler socks that fit the leg. Over time, the military fashion spread to the rest of the Roman population, and by the end of the fourth century trousers had become so popular that the brother emperors Honorius and Arcadius issued an edict prohibiting their use not for aesthetic or cultural reasons, but for cultural reasons. to prevent civilians from wearing military attire, and thus easily distinguish one from the other in a time marked by social tensions.
