Found in the Pompeii macellum (market), this life-size marble statue of a priestess, perhaps the empress Livia, which retains pigments.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This life-size marble statue of a priestess, holding a patera (offering dish) in one hand and a small censer (incense burner) in the other, and a palla pulled over her head in a veil, was found in the macellum - the market - of Pompeii. It still retains red pigments in its hair and eyes. This figure wears a stola over her tunic, the mark of a Roman matrona, a married woman. This statue is traditionally identified with the Roman empress Livia, wife of Emperor Augustus. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, inv. 6041
