Marble bust of the great Athenian general, orator, and statesman Pericles (ca. 495-429 BCE), shown here wearing a Corinthian helmet. Pericles is credited by many historians, notably Thucydides, with guiding 5th century BCE Athens to its peak of greatness; among his achievements were the ambitious building program on the Parthenon and the conversion of the Delian League, originally formed to combat the Persians, into a tribute-paying Athenian empire. His reputation was not, however, unblemished. His political opponents accused him of aiming at tyranny, while his enforcement of the Megarian Decree--which barred Sparta's ally Megara from all Athenian harbors and was effectively an act of economic warfare--may have been the proximate cause of the Peloponnesian War. His death from plague plunged Athens into crisis and led to a succession of populist leaders such as Cleon and Hyperbolus, whose far more aggressive foreign policy ultimately proved disastrous for Athens. Though the city would survive and even make a second attempt at empire-building, it never regained the unchallenged supremacy it had enjoyed in the Periclean period.

Roman copy of uncertain date after a lost Greek original. Now in the Museo Chiaramonti, Vatican City.

American Tourist Smashes Two Roman-Era Sculptures in the Vatican

Just when you thought the summer of tourists behaving badly was over, another person on vacation wrecks another priceless artifact.

This time it's the turn of an American tourist who smashed no fewer than two ancient Roman sculptures into pieces at the Vatican on Wednesday.

The episode took place in the Museo Chiaramonti, part of the Vatican Museums, around lunchtime. The space holds around 1,000 works of ancient statuary, and describes itself as "one of the finest collections of Roman portraits" in the world.

Two of those portraits are now facing an uncertain future after the tourist knocked over one in anger, then toppled another as he fled the scene.

The man had demanded to see the pope, according to newspaper Il Messaggero. When he was told he couldn't, he allegedly hurled one Roman bust to the floor.

As he ran off, with staff in pursuit, he knocked down another.

The two works of art have been taken to the inhouse workshop to be assessed. While around 2,000 years old, they are thought to be secondary works of art, rather than famous works, a source told Il Messaggero.

Director of the Press Office for Vatican Museums Matteo Alessandrini said that the American man, around 50 years old, was in the "Galleria Chiaramonte" corridor, which houses around 100 busts and statues.

"The busts were affixed to shelves with a nail but if you pull them down with force they will come off," he said. "He pulled down one and then the other and the guards came immediately and stopped him and consigned him to the Vatican police who brought him in for questioning. Around 5:30 p.m. he was handed over to the Italian authorities.

"The 2 busts have been damaged but not particularly badly. One lost part of a nose and an ear, the head of the other came off the pedestal."

He said that restoration work had already begun, and that "they will soon be restored and back at the Museum."

Mountain Butorac, who leads pilgrimages to the Vatican and who often visits the Museo Chiaramonti, said: "One of the beautiful things is that it allows the visitors to get literally face to face with these ancient sculptures. My fear is that with behavior like this, barriers could be put in place."

Tourists damaging monuments has been a theme of this summer in Rome. In July, a Canadian tourist was caught carving her name into the Colosseum, while American tourists were caught hurling scooters down the Spanish Steps, breaking off pieces in the process, and a Saudi visitor drove his Maserati down the same architectural icon.

Asclepio, figlio di Apollo e della ninfa Coronide era il dio della medicina. Sacrificò la sua vita per salvare le persone fino a quando non venne colpito dal fulmine di Zeus per aver iniziato a resuscitare i morti. Era molto venerato in Grecia. Il centro del suo culto era la città di Epidauro con il suo famoso santuario. Una statua cultuale in bronzo di Asclepio, realizzata ad Atene nel terzo quarto del V secolo a.C., fu probabilmente opera degli allievi dello scultore Mirone. La scultura nell’immagine, copia romana del II secolo d.C. da originale greco del IV secolo a.C., proveniente dal Quirinale, è conservata a Roma nel Museo Chiaramonti.

TITOLO: Augusto di prima Porta

DATAZIONE: 27 a.C.

LUOGO DI CONSERVAZIONE: Città del Vaticano museo Chiaramonti

TECNICA: scultura in marmo da originale bronzeo

DETTAGLI: questa è un’altra raffigurazione di Augusto diversa dalla precedente, difatti Augusto indossa il paludamentum ovvero un lungo mantello che sorregge sul braccio e la lorica sul torace, ovvero una corazza in cuoio, che era indossata dai legionari. Quest’ultima ha una funzione allegorica di farti presenta la raffigurazione del re dei parti sconfitto che riconsegna le insegne romane come atto di totale sottomissione. Questo è un altro esempio di strumentalizzazione politica e propagandistica dell’arte per Augusto. Qui Augusto è raffigurato in un momento particolare ovvero nella cosiddetta adlocutio, ovvero il discorso di incitamento alle truppe del comandante dell’esercito, che Augusto tiene con il braccio sollevato proprio per enfatizzarne la solennità.
