This powerful portrait bust incorporates a large expanse of chest, a stylistic characteristic indicating that it was carved toward the middle of the first century A.D. Most surviving portraits worked in this hard realistic manner dating to the first century B.C., but the style continued in fashion until the mid-first century A.D. and was revived intermittently thereafter.
