<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chappspix/55039420087/" title="Bronze Gallo-Roman portrait bust of a youth"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55039420087_e39a0bd140_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Bronze Gallo-Roman portrait bust of a youth" /></a></p>

<p>This bust portrays a youth of about ten to twelve years old. Atop a long neck sits a delicate head, bearing the characteristics of the Julio-Claudians. The brow is wide, the nose fine, the mouth delicate and the chin small. The front of the head is carefully articulated while the back is only summarily modeled. A smooth fringe of locks frames the forehead. Curls are swept in front of the ears. Traces of discoloration around the lower edges of the bust suggest that it had an attachment, probably a calyx of leaves affixed with solder as on 89.AB.67.1.<br />
<br />
Who do these two bronze portrait busts represent? They are very similar in appearance, although one appears slightly older than the other. Both boys have a hairstyle with a distinctive wave across the forehead, which was popular during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero. The busts originally had long, separately made locks of hair, which were attached to the back of the heads. Their long locks may indicate that they represent a pair of attendants in a youth organization called the Iuventus, which held special favor under Nero. If so, these busts are the only known portraits of such attendants in the Iuventus and were probably created to be displayed in one of the organization's shrines.<br />
<br />
The other bust has an acanthus band at the bottom; while this feature is missing here, traces of solder may indicate its original presence. Also missing from both heads are the original inlaid eyes made of colored stone or glass paste. The emphasis on the front view, the simplistic treatment of the back of the head, and the overall style indicate that this pair of busts was made in the Roman province of Gaul.<br />
<br />
These busts are said to have been found in France along with the Offering Box and the Statuette of Mars/Cobannus. The pieces were probably all displayed together in a local shrine of the Iuventus.<br />

Dimanche 11 Janvier :<br />
Balade autour du centre .<br />
Au programme aujourd’hui, baladounette . On va voir le torrent l’Abéous . Et oui , notre apéro au four à pain doit se mériter !<br />
Aussi nous sommes tout ouïe . Ce torrent devient tout fou fou quelquefois . Cedric nous explique le système d’alerte ingénieux : un câble au dessus du brisoir qui , lorsqu’il est cassé déclenche une alerte sur le dispositif plus bas qui , à son tour , déclenchera les alarmes plus bas vers l’Ubaye .<br />
On a été sage , donc , go to le four à pain du village.<br />
Où , de manière quasi religieuse , Cédric prend les petits pâtons ….Pour les enfourner ….<br />
Entre-temps , le temps de cuisson oblige , on se balade et on découvre le torrent : celui qui a donné le nom au village : Rio Clar . Car il est clair …<br />
On rencontre des animaux : des chiens , un chat qui s’enferme tout seul,une belle église.<br />
Et on est impatient : on veut manger et boire !<br />
Wouahhhh , le pain est cuit<br />
Apéroooooo !<br />
Et la photo qui clôture  ce super séjour !</p>
