Объектом исследования стала «Статуя полководца из Тиволи», датируемая большинством исследователей второй четвертью I в. до н.э. Наш интерес к ней обусловлен тем, что до сих пор не было установлено — кого из лидеров Республики она возвеличила. Полагаем, что это Гай Марий. При этом учитываем, в частности, сходство лица «полководца из Тиволи» и лиц бюстов из Глиптотеки Мюнхена и Музеев Ватикана, в которых исследователи видят изображения именно этого военного и политического деятеля. Высекли же статую после смерти диктатора Л. Корнелия Суллы, а точнее — в период Первого триумвирата и, скорее всего, по инициативе Г. Юлия Цезаря. Это обстоятельство и определило её дальнейшую судьбу: статуя была сохранена. Она украшала храм Геркулеса Виктора, возведённого в Тиволи в I в. до н.э., при раскопках которого и была найдена. The object of the study was the “Statue of the commander from Tivoli”, which dates back, according to the majority of researches, to the second quarter of the 1st century BCE. Our interest in it is due to the fact that it is still not known which of the leaders of the Republic was glorified in this way. We believe that it is about Gaius Marius that we should speak. We are also taking into account the fact that the “commander’s” face is rather similar to those of the busts from the Münchener Glyptothek and the Musei Vaticani, in which many scholars tend to recognize the military and political leader mentioned above. The sculpture was made after the death of the dictator L. Cornelius Sulla, or, more precisely, it was carved during the First Triumvirate, and most likely on the initiative of G. Julius Caesar. This circumstance determined its future fate: the statue survived. It was supposed to adorn the Templeof Hercules Victor, erected in Tivoli in the 1stcentury BCE, and it was during the excavations of the temple that the statue was found
