(92.) Female Bust, which, from the style of the head-
dress, is probably of the period of Faustina the Younger.
Round the shoulders is a under which is a tunic.
The nose is broken away. Fair Roman work.
Ht. 1 ft. 10 in. Found at Cyrene. Smith and Porcher, Hist. Disc.,
p. 105, No. 110.
(93.) Male Head, bearded ; the nose wanting ; probably
a Roman Emperor. It hears some resemblance to Albums.
Art late and coarse.
Ht. 1 ft. 5 in. Found at Cyrene. Smith and Porcher, Hist. Disc.,
p. 107, No. 128.
(94.) Head of a Roman Lady, inclined to the right.
Her hair is waved across the brow and temples, and after
passing behind the ears is plaited and doubled up over the
crown of the head. The head-dress resembles that of
Herennia Etruscilla. The tip of the nose has been re-
stored.
Ht. 11 in. Purchased of Mr. A. Castellani, 1873.
(95.) Bust of Caracalla—The scowling expression
which has been already referred to in the description of
the bust of this Emperor, No. 37, may also he seen in this
bust. Here the head is turned towards the left shoulder
instead of towards the right, as in the case of the bust
previously described. Restorations, bust, nose, and patch
on right cheek.
Ht. 7§ in.
(96.) Iconic Bust, bearded, the shoulders naked.—From
the character of the art, this bust probably belongs to the
second century, A.D. It hears some resemblance to Geta,
but the portrait has never been identified. The nose is
intact, and the bust otherwise in good condition.
Ht. 2 ft. 4§ in.
