EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Epicurus, Ancient Greek Philosopher, Roman Bust, British Museum, London This bust portrays the renowned ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BC), a pivotal figure in the history of Western thought. Discovered in Rome, this third to second century AD Roman copy is now housed at the British Museum in London, England. Epicurus was a native of Athens, but his philosophical teachings, known as Epicureanism, gained significant popularity in Rome. His philosophy, which emphasized the pursuit of tranquility and pleasure, contrasted with the more austere and moralistic Stoicism that dominated the Roman world. The serene expression on this ancient bust conveys the wisdom and calmness that Epicurus is known for. With a thoughtful gaze and a well-groomed beard, the philosopher's features are captured in intricate detail. The bust is adorned with a simple, diadem-like headband, symbolizing his status as a philosopher. The British Museum's acquisition of this Roman copy is a testament to the enduring influence of Epicurus' philosophy throughout history. As a cornerstone of the museum's extensive collection of ancient Greek and Roman art, it continues to inspire visitors and scholars alike. This ancient bust serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped Western thought and continues to influence our understanding of the world. The British Museum's preservation and display of this Roman copy of Epicurus is a testament to the importance of history and the power of art to transport us through time. As we contemplate the tranquil expression of this ancient philosopher, we are invited to reflect on the timeless questions of life, pleasure, and the pursuit of happiness that continue to resonate with us today.
