GRAND-NIECE OF THE EMPEROR TRAJAN, SABINA WAS MARRIED TO THE HEIR-APPARENT, HADRIAN, ABOUT AD 100. IN THIS SENSITIVE PORTRAIT, WE CAN SEE THE PROUD BEAUTY SO CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN NOBILITY. THOUGH HISTORY LEAVES ONLY A FRAGMENTARY PICTURE OF THIS FASCINATING WOMAN, WHEN WE WEAR THIS PENDANT WE FEEL WE KNOW SABINA INTIMATELY. - (FJ.2894)
