Source Description
Julia Domna, born in Syria as a daughter of a priest of the sun god Elagabalus, was the wife of Emperor Septimius Severus (reigned 193-211 CE). The smooth uninterrupted expanses of her face, the heavily lidded eyes with the pupils created by two overlapping, spherical cavities, and the detailed incisions of the hair are distinctive of this period.
