Portrait of a priest of Isis, first quarter of the 1st century BCE, Rome, Marble. Museum of the Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with ReMake and ReCap from AutoDesk.

Often identified as a portrait of Scipio Africanus, this work probably represents a priest of the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis, as suggested by scarification in X on the right side of the front.
