Nero

[uncleclaudius]

Veiled heads of the Roman emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. So-called capite velato (usually fold of the toga draped over the top of the head) was a show of piety during religious sacrifice, and in art it underlines the individual's role as a priest, in the case of the emperors that of the pontifex maximus.

During the Republic, the office of the pontifex maximus, Rome's highest priest, was elective. Augustus became pontifex maximus in 12 BC and from then on the position was automatically assumed by each successive emperor upon their ascension.
