New Head of Julia Found

A new portrait probably of Julia, daughter of Augustus, was excavated at a villa Aranova in Fiumicino, in a villa discovered in December (not the Niobid villa). The initial phase of this monumental villa rustica dates from the later Republican period the first century BC, although there was major renovation in the second century AD; the head was found in a area where food was stored. Because of its scale, archaeologists are speculating that it might have been an Imperial villa.
