Roman bigio morato marble statue of Zeus

            A Roman 2nd century CE copy of a late Hellenistic original (in bronze?) depicting the god Zeus, wearing a Greek-style himation and holding a thunderbolt in his right hand. Bigio morato is a fine-grained gray marble, much favored during the 2nd century CE, especially during the reign of the emperor Hadrian, whose villa at Tivoli has yielded a number of fine sculptures in this material. In fact, two centaurs from Hadrian’s Villa flank the other black marble sculptures in the Great Hall.
