"Massachusetts Museum's Ancient Roman Bust Seized in Looting Probe"

A bronze bust believed to depict the daughter of an ancient Roman emperor has been seized from a Massachusetts art museum by New York authorities investigating antiquities stolen from Turkey. The bust, known as "Portrait of a Lady," was acquired by the Worcester Art Museum in 1966. It is believed to date from A.D. 160 to 180 and is thought to portray a daughter of Marcus Aurelius or another Roman emperor, Septimius Severus. The seizure is part of an ongoing investigation into a smuggling network involving looted objects from Turkey.
