English: “Pseudo-Seneca”: the bust was identified for a very long time with the Roman philosopher Seneca. It was acknowledged as spurrious after the discovery of an inscripted portrait bearing Seneca's name (1813). May actually represent Hesiod. Roman copy after a lost Hellenistic original.
Français : Pseudo-Sénèque : on a longtemps cru que le buste représentait le philosophe romain, jusqu'à la découverte en 1813 d'un portrait inscrit portant le nom de Sénèque. Pourrait en fait représenter Hésiode. Copie romaine d'un original hellénistique.
