Description
English: The actual sculpture that was scanned from a copy of Josephus' 'The Jewish War' dated 1888.
Français : Buste, sans inscriptions, datant du première siècle, actuellement conservé à la Glyptothèque Ny Carlsberg. Plusieurs savants, dont Robert Eisler en 1925, identifient la personne représentée comme Flavius Josèphe, se basant principalement sur des stéréotypes physiques et déclarant que Josèphe, selon Eusèbe de Césarée, était très populaire à Rome, qu'une statue lui était consacrée. Les arguments sont cependant qualifiés de légers, l'attribution est aujourd'hui soulignée par les savants comme spéculative. Voir P. Plagnieux, Les sculptures Romanes Dossiers d'Archéologie, (janvier 2001), p.15 ; Magen Broshi, Bread, Wine, Walls and Scrolls p. 46-49 ; Le Buste sur la base de donnée culturelle du Danemark, où il est déclaré qu'une identification raisonnable n'est pas possible (En rimelig navngivning synes ikke mulig.).

Eisler gave it the name Flavius ​​Josephus (the Roman historian 37-100 AD) p.gr.a. the Jewish physiognomy. Mustache and goatee are only slightly indicated. The beard has probably been indicated with paint. A reasonable naming does not seem possible.)
