This portrait head closely resembles one depicting the Emperor Varius Avitus Bassianus, known as Elagabulus, in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (see no. 12 in F. Johansen, Roman Portraits III). While the portrait in Copenhagen has fleshier cheeks and jowls than the current example, the lips, hairline and deeply-drilled eyes bear a considerable similarity, indicating that if not the future emperor himself, it can at least be dated to the same time period.
