Female Bust from Ostia in the Vatican Museum, July 2012

Female Bust from Ostia in the Vatican Museum, July 2012
Female Bust

Found in Ostia (excavations by Pietro Ercole Visconti, 1856)

The kind of hairstyle recalls that of Antonia Minor, mother of the emperor Claudius, and enables us to date the piece to around the third-fourth decade of the 1st century AD.

Text from the Vatican Museum label.
