"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 portray the daughter of Marcus Aurelius or another Roman emperor, Septimius Severus. This seizure is part of an ongoing investigation into a smuggling network involving looted objects from Turkey.
