Roman marble portrait head displaying striking features reminiscent of Trajan's visage, particularly in the mouth area where a receding lower lip and pronounced nasolabial folds converge. Nevertheless, the hairstyle depicted here diverges from typical representations of Trajan, who was usually shown with long locks flowing forward across his crown. In contrast, this portrait showcases short, curved locks arranged in rows, with the forward row positioned low on the forehead, a characteristic more akin to Nerva, Trajan's predecessor, hailing from the 1st-2nd century BC era.
