Roman portrait bust of a young man from the rule of Trajan 98-117 AD. This bust of a man presents a hairstyle with long curls that are closely cut to the head and cover the forehead with a thick fringe that follows the shape of the face. The style comes from the official portraits of Trajan, 97-117 AD, created for his Decennalia, celebrating the tenth year of his reign. Inv 317, The National Roman Museum, Rome, Italy
