work OF a great artist depicting a

the identity OF either the artist or

be discovered in the fact that the
bust was found in the ruins OF the
ancient Roman town OF ItaliCa,
near Seville. Spain, which was the
birthplace Of the emperors Trajan
and Hadrian and other famous
Romans.
1t is also pointed out that the
features bear some resemblance to
