Abstract:
This paper offers a full publication of a bronze head found in 1910 in Palaiokastro (anc. Metropolis) near Karditsa, Thessaly. The technique and the style of the work point to late antiquity. It shows similarities with Tetrarchic heads but also the new style of imperial portraits introduced by Constantine. It is here argued that this most probably imperial portrait should be dated to the 1st half of the 4th century.
