' The manner of wearing the hair is characteristic of the
Antonine period.
Marble. Height, 2 feet 4f inches. Newton (Graco-Roman Guide, L,
Nos. 44 and, by error, 96) suggests " some resemblance to Geta."
1911. Bust of Lucius Verus. He has a mass of thick curling
hair, which falls very low on the forehead, and a beard
low on the chin. The eyebrows are incised. The bust is
draped with a tunic, cuirass, and fringed military cloak,
fastened with a circular brooch on the right shoulder.
The antique circular base is in one piece with the bust.

Greek marble. Height, with base, 3 feet 1 inch. Restored: nose,
left eyebrow, part of upper lip, and small parts of drapery.
Vet. Mon. Matth., II., pi. 24, fig. 1. [The test, ibid., p. 40,
states that the bust was taken from the Mattel collection to the
Vatican.] Mus. Marbles, HI., pi. 10 ; Ellis. Town. Gall., II..
p. 48; Mansell, No. 1182; Graco-Roman Guide, I., No. 30;
Bernoulli, Roem. Ikonographie, II., 2, p. 210, No. 43.
1912. (Plate XVII.) Bust of Lucilla (circa 147-1S;5 a.d.).
daughter of Marcus Aurelins and wife of Lucius Verus.
The hair is waved and brought over the ears, which are
nearly hidden, to a coil at the back. She wears a tunic
fastened on each shoulder by a stud, and over it a mantle.
The treatment of the hair is in close agreement with that
of the coins. The head, however, is that of a young girl,
and if intended for Lucilla it must represent her before
her marriage, which was at the age of 17 or 18.—Found
at Rome.
Parian marble. Height, 1 foot 6^ inches. Restored: nose, right
temple. The surface is otherwise untouched. Bought of
Castellani, 1873. Grceco-Roman Guide, I., No. 32 ; Mansell.
No. 1183; Bernoulli, Roan. Ikonographie, II., 2, p. 226. For
