Bust of Marius comes from the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Gaius Marius (157 – 86 BC) was a Roman general and statesman who held the office of consul an unprecedented seven times. He was known for important reforms of the Roman army, allowing the recruitment of landless citizens, ending the manipular formations and reorganising the legions into separate cohorts. Marius defeated the invading Teutones, Ambrones and Cimbri, for which he was called ‘the third founder of Rome’. His life and career played an important part in Rome’s transformation from Republic to Empire.
