Ancient marble portrait head remarkably echoes Trajan in its features, particularly the distinctive mouth with a receding lower lip and deep nasolabial folds. Nonetheless, the hair style diverges from traditional depictions of Trajan, who typically sports long, combed locks falling across his crown. In contrast, this sculpture showcases short, curved tresses, with the forward row positioned low on the forehead, recalling Nerva's likeness, Trajan's predecessor, from the 1st-2nd century BC era.
