Professor Percy Gardner published in this Journal a most interesting portrait-head belonging to the Ashmolean Museum, undoubtedly a portrait of Livia. As good portraits of the Empress are very rare, the little-known head in the Hermitage Museum deserves further notice. The head in question belongs to the original stock of the Museum, but it is unknown how it found its way there. In the first notice extant Guédéonoff described it as a ‘portrait of a Roman lady.’ Kieseritzky proposed the name ‘Messalina.’ In my Catalogue of the Museum and in my Roman Portraits in the Hermitage Museum, I have called it Livia.
