Abstract :
The main concern of this study is a marble bust which was found at Gemlik (Cios near Bursa, Turkey) in 1990. The portrait betrays local features. It bears the characteristics of an idealised young man of the Classical period. The hairstyle has many affinities with the portraits of young men from the Julio-Claudian family. Therefore, this makes it possible to date the bust to that period, probably even to the latest period, that of Tiberius.
