She sports an elaborate hairstyle similar to Octavia, Augustus's sister, but with one notable difference - short, curly strands replace the traditional forehead knot. The torso is cut off, suggesting that her portrait was either inserted into a statue or nestled snugly inside a burial chapel. Dating back to the late 1st century B.C., this image tells a story of elegance and refinement.
