Description
Her draped dress is very delicately sculpted, and the half-circle formed by it highlights her features. 10 similar portraits are conserved in Rome, Copenhagen, Dresden, Florence, Liverpool and London – this proves that this is the representation of a member of the imperial family. Therefore, this young melancolic woman would be Tranquillina, daughter of Timesitheus, famous for her beauty, her good character and her virtue. She married Gordian and became empress.
