| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Empress Pompeia Plotina facing right, her hair elaborately dressed in the Trajanic court fashion with a tall stephane-like arrangement of waves and braids drawn up from the forehead and falling in a long plaited queue down the nape of the neck. The effigy is rendered in fine high relief with careful attention to the drapery folds at the shoulder. The circumferential legend in Latin reads PLOTINA AVG IMP TRAIANI, encircling the bust within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Plotina, wife of Trajan, was notably reluctant to accept imperial honors — ancient sources record that she paused on the steps of the palace at her accession and publicly declared she hoped to leave it the same woman she entered. The reverse type here, Pudicitia, the personification of modesty and chastity, was almost certainly chosen to reflect that carefully cultivated public image rather than as a conventional dynastic gesture.
She would later play a decisive role in securing Hadrian's succession in 117 AD, a transition some ancient sources viewed with suspicion.
