Julia Domna, 2nd century AD, found in the Monumental Nymphaeum of Perge between the two main city gates. Three major pieces and a later found left hand combine to an almost complete statue.

Born in Emesa (nowadays: Homs), Syriua she came to Rome in 173 and became the second wife of the Emperor Septimus Severus. She bore him a son in 188 AD, the future Emperor Caracalla. She was of outstanding intelligence and Severus often consulted her. After his death she tried in vain to reconcile her sons, Caracalla and the later born Geta. She starved herself to death after hearing of the murder of Caracalla. She is portrayed as a mature woman in chiton and himation. Part of the himation serves as a veil pulled over her head and diadem. The tight folds of her garment are similar in styule to 4th century BC statues. The statue must be dated to the third century AD.
