[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 2864453, member: 88829"]Returning to the original theme of the thread, hair styles: I'm grateful for the list from Hill. I have been paying some attention to the styles of Plautilla's hair of late but did not know of this study. I just acquired an example that seems to be a slight variant of the second style in the list. In this latest example her hair is tightly and uniformly wound, but does not form a prominent chignon or bun at the back: [ATTACH=full]683112[/ATTACH] The bun seems to be formed but does not protrude, giving a very uniform curvature to the whole head. I associate it with type Eii because of the common reverse and the basic similarity of construction of the style. But I am not sure which mint did this particular work, Rome or Laodicea/Antiochia ad Orontem (as the British Museum is now labelling them). BTW I am delighted to see your virtual tray, Cucumbor. Nice piece of work and a good model.[/QUOTE]
