Roman Matron

112
This marble portrait (late 1st c. BC–early 1st c. AD) reflects the Augustan style worn by elite Roman women. The hair is parted, tied into a bun at the nape, and shaped into a nodus over the forehead. Associated with Octavia, sister of Augustus, this hairstyle signaled dignity, tradition, and social status in early Imperial Rome.
