Description:

|
Found in the area of the church of Santa Maria ai Monti; from the Musei Capitolini (Palazzo dei Conservatori). There are three similar marble portrait heads; in the Lateran, the Palazzo dei Conservatori (this one) and the Louvre. In all probability they portray Ariadne, the wife first of Zenon (Zeno the Isaurian), and, from 491, of Anastasius I (she died in 515 CE). Ariadne was the elder daughter of Leo I and Verina, rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire. The imperial character of all these portraits is identified by their headdress. This consists of a scarf of thin material covering the hair entirely, and in most cases a bonnet made of stiffer material, to which a more or less elaborate crown in attached. The Ariadne in the Musei Capitolini (this one) wears only the scarf to which the diadem is fitted. Photographed while on exhibition loan to Santa Maria Antiqua.
