Bust believed to represent the Greek historian, biographer and essayist Plutarch. It is carved in Parian marble, dated to the 2nd or 3rd century AD. It is displayed in room XIV of the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, next to a herm with an engraved inscription that reads: ΔΕΛΦΟΙ ΧΑΙΡΩΝΕΥΣΙ ΝΟΜΟΥ ΠΛΟΥΤΑΡΧΟΝ ΕΘΗΚΑΝ ΤΟΙΣ ΑΜΦΙΚΤΙΟΝΩΝ ΔΕΛΦΟΙΣ ΠΕΙΘΟΜΕΝΟΙ (This votive with the bust of Plutarch was set up by the people of Delphi and the citizens of Chearonea in honour of the great author and priest of Apollo).
