This cameo of the #Roman Emperor Claudius is the largest surviving portrait cameo in the care of the @RCT . It depicts the emperor both cuirassed but also aspiring to be seen as Jupiter/Zeus, showcasing his merit both as a soldier & as a divine authority. Dating c. AD 43-45. pic.twitter.com/mv5KkfrHs8
