Description
Female bronze head (probably part of a statue of the whole body), with a hairstyle in the form of a high diadem and curls of the “wasp's nest" type. This hairstyle became very famous in the Flavian period as Julia Flavia, daughter of Emperor Titus, the second emperor of the Flavia dynasty, made it fashionable.
