This silver reliquary head of Saint Alexander clearly reflects the influence of ancient Roman culture. The realistic size of the head, its idealized depiction, as well as the characteristic hairstyle, only apparently untidy and with locks of symmetrical curls combed forward and covering part of the forehead, recall portraits of young Roman emperors such as Augustus and Constantine. This does not come as a surprise, since one of the main artistic influences of Romanesque art was ancient Roman art.
It is also possible to refer to the influence of Byzantine art in the plaques that decorate the stand where the head sits, but I will not elaborate on this, since the question is referring primarily to the bust.

Roman citizens were divided up into two distinct classes: the plebeians and the patricians. The patricians were the wealthy upper class people. Everyone else was considered a plebeian.
Patricians
The patricians were the ruling class of the early Roman Empire. Only certain families were part of the patrician class and you had to be born a patrician. The patricians were only a small percentage of the Roman population, but they held all the power.
Plebeians
All the other citizens of Rome were Plebeians. Plebeians were the farmers, craftsmen, laborers, and soldiers of Rome.
