Explanation: The bust depicted is of the great Carthaginian general Hannibal, who terrorized the Romans for the entirety of his military career. In the course of the Second Punic War, he contributed significantly to the death toll of the Romans by his repeated and overwhelming victories, which resulted in the deaths of ~1/5th of the Roman male citizen population at the time.
