myancientworld:Marble bust of Julia Titi, dated around 90 CE.This Roman bust shows Julia Titi, who was the daughter of Emperor Titus. She wears the typical Flavian hairstyle of tight curls dramatically piled high on top of the head. This hairstyle was popular in the Flavian dynasty (69- 96 AD) as demonstrated by the amount of portraits and busts remaining of various women. Note how the holes through the lobes in her ears reminds a modern audience that some artwork was accessorised with jewellery. -- source link
