Call me crazy, but I think this is a very unflattering portrait of a late Roman empire woman. One reason I think this is because the top of the ear is covered by hair (or is that a polyester rib knit skullcap? lol) and so far I haven't seen any male portraits like that* -- but there are some female portraits which resemble this.

Put me down for Eudoxia :)

* I'm a noob, so that observation is based on a very limited scope of experience.

Vilma Takto "Soter Megas"

No hint needed I could recognize the lips anywhere.

I knew you'd recognise him.

Long unknown as he called himself 'Soter Megas' - the great savior - on his coins so no name could be given to him. He really did fancy himself as the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously, the legend for that coin (which you can see as my avatar is this coin) reads 'King of Kings, the great savior'.
