I have been distracted well away from my collecting focus areas after being offered pickings of a small British private collection. Amonst them was this. The grade isn't great but I think the bust is relatievly scarce. I will share some more of my pickings later.

Heroically nude busts of Aurelian appear to be relativey sparse on the market.
