The Augusta Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Gemellus correct, your turn. Ahem - I must butt in here, gents! i) Tiberius Gemellus was not a famous son of Livia - he was the son of Livia Julia (i.e. 'Livilla') ii) The statue (however labelled on whatever site) is clearly of a young Tiberius - i.e. the Emperor. iii) Tiberius most certainly WAS the most famous son of Livia - the REAL Livia! So - what is the correct answer here? I really do think that MPC was correct in his guess. The image MUST be incorrectly named at your source, Ingsoc.

Bryaxis Hecatee Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Could this (mainly on the basis of your hint) be Julia Domna ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hits that i gave are bolded) Aelia Flavia Flaccilla (died 385), first wife of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. She was of Hispanian Roman descent. During her marriage to Theodosius, she gave birth to two sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryaxis Hecatee Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Damn, that's quite a nice piece for such a late period ! I would have dated it as no later than the mid 3rd century ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) It somehow screamed late 4th century at me, maybe it's the eyes, I don't know. The two sons was the only hint I needed from there. Edited February 21, 2011 by Maladict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryaxis Hecatee Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yes I did notice the eyes too, but they seemed less outrageous than those on, say, a bust of Constantine. As for your picture... It's splendid ! I don't think I've seen such a well worked pilosity for a long time ! Closer to bronze work than to traditionnal stonework, could this be a late second or early third century piece ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
