ROMAN IMPERIAL PORTRAIT*.
169
Bernoulli prefers to regard this as a head of Mamaea,
disguised by the modern nose.
Greek marble. Height, 1 foot 3^ inches. Restored: nose, and parts
of each shoulder, with drapery. The surface is intact. Bought
of Castellani, 1873. Gro?co-Roman Guide, I., No. 40 ; Mansell,
No. 1168 ; Bernoulli, Roem. Ikonographie, EL, 3, p. Ill, No. 18 ;
p. 139.
1923. Bust of Otacilia Severa (?), wife of Philip the Elder.
The head is slightly turned to its right. The hair
is waved to each side over the ears, and is looped up
at the hack in a broad plaited mass. The eyebrows are
indicated, and the pupils of the eyes are strongly incised.
The modern bust is draped with a tunic and a mantle.
Bernoulli prefers to call this head, and others like it.
Tranquillina.— Towneley Coll.
Greek marble. Height, 1 foot 4^ inches. Restored : neck and
bust. From Rome. " Bought of Jenkins, 1776 " {Town.
1st inv.) ; " Purchased from Cavaceppi " ( Tov:n. 2nd inv.). Mus.
Marbles, X., pi. 14; Ellis, Town. Gall., II., p. 53 ; Grceco-Roman
Guide, L, No. 41; Mansell, No. 1170; Wolters, No. 1676
Bernoulli, Roem. Ikonographie, II., 3, pis. 43a, 43b ; p. 138.
1924. (Plate XVII.) Head of Herennia Etruscilla, wife of
Trajanus Decius. The hair is brought in large waves
over each ear, and is confined by a large peaked circlet
(stephane). At the back it is gathered in a circular coil;
above the coil a groove is incised, as if for a hair orna-
ment, now missing. The pupils of the eyes are marked,
and the eyebrows are deeply incised. The lower part of
the neck is worked to fit into a socket.
The head is not unlike that of Herennia on the coins,
but the identification cannot be made with certainty.
Greek marble. Height, 1 foot 3^ inches. Restored: tip of nose. Bought
of Castellani, 1873. Grosco-Roman Guide, I., No. 42; Mansell,
No. 1171; Bernoulli, Roem. Ikonographie, II., 3, p. 156. For
