Possibly an Empress

Although it is impossible to identify this woman with any certainty, her hair style indicates she lived in the first half of the 3rd century CE. It was made fashionable by Plautilla, wife of the emperor Caracalla, and remained in style until that dynasty ended. This woman may have been one of the wives of the emperor Elagabalus, who came from the Roman province of Syria.
