This bust of Claudia Olympias is most likely to have come from Rome or its immediate surroundings. Two further inscriptions mention a Claudia Olympias, daughter of Tiberius, and may therefore refer to the same person, who died aged 49 and a half years after 33 years of marriage. Her coiffure is typical of the late Trajanic and early Hadrianic periods. The inscription on the base reads: MEMORIAE CL · TI · F · OLYMPIADISEPITHYMETVS · LIBPATRONAE · PIENTISSIMAEInscription TransliterationMemoriaeCl(audiae) Ti(beri) f(iliae) OlympiadisEpithymetus lib(ertus)patronae pientissimaeInscription TranslationEpithymetus, a freedman, (set this up) in memory of a most dutiful patron, Claudia Olympias, daughter of Tiberius.
