Painted bust of a Roman woman from around 80 CE. The woman has on her head a typical for the Flavian dynasty arrangement of artificial and real hair.
The pointed nose and double chin are proof that the artist was paying attention to real shapes, which was contrary to idealism favored during the early empire.
IMPERIUM ROMANUM is in process of translation over 3300 Polish articles about history of ancient Rome. If you have the opportunity to financially support the further translations – even with smaller amount – I will be very grateful.
