For a closely related example, see the portrait of the Emperor Nerva (recut from a portrait of Drusus III), pls. 146-147 in C.B. Rose, Dynastic Commemoration and Imperial Portraiture in the Julio-Claudian Period. The veil was a marker of piety in ancient Rome and when worn by an emperor it indicated his position as pontifex maximus. The large-scale of the bust presented here likely indicates that he was an important official or priest of the Roman state-sponsored religion.
