Aelia Flaccilla, wife of Theodosius, was known for her deep Christian faith and her concern for her husband's salvation. Her statues stood alongside those of the imperial family, only to be desecrated during the Antioch sedition, a testament to the turbulent times she lived through.
Description
A Roman empress with a noble bearing and devout presence, her statues show her in imperial regalia: a jeweled diadem, richly embroidered robes, and a serene, pious expression. Her dark hair and composed features convey both authority and reverence.
