Bust of Thusnelda

This is a marble bust depicting Thusnelda (c. 10 BC – unknown), a Germanic noblewoman who was captured by the Roman general Germanicus during his invasion of Germania. She was the wife of Arminius. Tacitus and Strabo cite her capture as evidence of both the firmness and restraint of Roman arms.本展品为一尊大理石胸像，刻画的是图斯内尔达（Thusnelda，约公元前10年—卒年不详），她是一名日耳曼贵族女性，在罗马将军日耳曼尼库斯（Germanicus）入侵日耳曼尼亚（Germania）期间被俘虏。她是阿尔米尼乌斯（Arminius）的妻子。塔西佗（Tacitus）与斯特拉波（Strabo）均将此次俘获事件作为罗马军队治军严明、行事克制的佐证。
