It is likely that this portrait was originally of the 2nd Century A.D., but was adjusted in the 3rd or 4th Century for a new subject; this is most evident in the contrast between the remains of the original light, feathered hairstyle visible on the sides of the face, and the short, close-cut plain hairstyle evident over the brow, which seems to have been worked by a different hand. The re-carving of the subject's eyes, with their distinctive 4th Century style, also point to later recarving in antiquity.
