Tanım

The hair consists of two rows of tight curls above the forehead, which bulges markedly. The eyes have heavy upper and lower lids; the iris is incised, the pupil drilled. The gaze is upwards and slightly to the r. Eyebrows are shown by a shallow groove which sweeps out to the hairline.

Evidence for thinking this is a head-capital fragment is: the findspot, in BE-N, near Zeus capital (Cat. 197 Figs. 349-350); the height which, when complete, would be only 0.01 or 0.02 smaller than the other heads; the flatness at top; the projection at upper l. side which looks like beginning of molding, but could be part of a crown or diadem; style of carving. The author believes this is a capital fragment for the above reasons; the date, by carving and especially the eyes, would be 3rd C. A.D., probably early. However, G.M.A. Hanfmann thinks it is an Imperial portrait, perhaps Constantinian. He points out that the head is slightly smaller than the other capital heads, and prefers to think of the projection as a diadem. He compares it to heads of Constantine in the medallions of the arch of Constantine.
