Fragment of a relief in the Egyptian style

The panel presents a sculpted profile of a pharaoh chracterized by the uraeus on his forehead. The relief, almost certainly made in Rome, depicted a Roman emperor in Egyptian dress, perhaps Domitian. Its place of discovery suggests that it was used in the ager vaticanus, probably in the sanctuary known as the Phryguanum. The relief may date to the first half of the 2nd Century A.D
