The style of this portrait, with its tightly coiled curls and thick hair over the ears, the individualized expression, and the absence of incision on the eyeballs, suggests that it was carved during the rule of one of the Flavian emperors: Vespasian, Titus, or Domitian (reigned AD 69-96). [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_pl2_23186_3qtr_bw_t91-2.jpg[/IMG] Roman Emperor with wooly hair 230-240 CE This bust was probably carved several decades after the reign of Emperor Caracalla (reigned AD 211-17) and bears many similarities to that emperor's portrait type, which had an enormous influence on the private portraiture of the following generation. Caracalla's later portraits have animated expressions, and the head is often turned to his right, giving the impression of movement. This example imitates the emperor's image but has the individual's own distinct features. (The nose and ears are restored.)

Such an image tended to have a realistic appearance, with a direct gaze and heavily lined face [IMG]http://art.thewalters.org/images/art/large/l_pl9_23139_fnt_sl_t87.jpg[/IMG] Roman mulato woman 50 BC The realism of the young woman's fleshy features and the detailed treatment of her elaborate hairstyle are typical of the late Republican period. The position of her head and the rough finish of the back suggest that she formed part of a group composition of family members decorating a tomb [/QB][/QUOTE]
