Thanks so much! Do you see a facial resemblance as well? And have you ever read anything at all suggesting that Faustina II had any sort of issue...
But the ADA in charge of the antiquities unit will still be there.
OK with me!
Gee, I remember Ladybird Johnson well, and she didn't look one bit like that. Especially her hair!
All three fakes linked, as well as yours, are supposed to be Year 17 (LIZ). not Year 10 as the Fake Reports state: in each case, you can clearly...
If it is known from literary sources that Faustina II had some sort of issue with her eyes, I'm not aware of it. @Roman Collector would probably know.
You're right, it's all speculation! I do think it's more likely that there might have been "souvenir" terracotta busts of empresses made during...
I do too. I've bought from Helios on a number of occasions over the years. I particularly like their Roman glass, such as this vase I bought from...
@Al Kowsky, of course that possibility has occurred to me. I suppose it could just be some patrician lady living in Hadrumetum, who was modeling...
And here's a photo I took a couple of years ago of a marble bust of Faustina II, face forward (but with her nose almost entirely missing), at the...

By pure coincidence (given @Roman Collector's new thread this morning about whether a marble head in the Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis is...

But why are you assuming that every small provincial statue intended to represent an empress, perhaps for display in a private home, would...
Thanks, @zumbly. I would love to have an example of the Juba I elephant bronze like yours, to go with the Metellus Scipio. I looked on acsearch...
I know you like the toning on this one, @Ryro! (The earliest coin on my Top 12 RR list for this year.) [IMG] I realize that the elephant looks...
All really interesting and impressive. My favorites are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
I haven't read through this old thread, but I've always thought that Mark Antony looks a little like Tony Bennett.
