Abstract
A news item describes how the head part of a marble bust of Antonia Minor was authenticated using carbon and oxygen stable-isotopic analysis, confirming an attribution as Roman and dating to 50 AD. Other parts of the bust were probably from other classical sculptures and from marble quarried more recently. -- AATA
