Look at her nose and lower face-- how unusual, not only for a Domna portrait but for any portrait of ancient times.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/roma/e28/image00562.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
