Vibia Sabina (83-136 A.D.), a relative of Trajan, was married very young to the future emperor, Hadrian. The comparison with coins, physiognomy, hairstyle and diadem allows for the portrait’s identification as the Empress Sabina.

I always tell my guests, while traveling and visiting museum that we can date sculptures via the use of tools by artisans then, I like the way artists then chisel and give birth to a body through different cuts. Thank you for sharing.
This portrait of Sabina (wife of Hadrian) is quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing Carol.
