Im Stil von römischen Kaiserbüsten wird hier das Ehepaar des Alexander Severus (208-235) und dessen Gattin Orbiane (gest. nach 227), mit der er von seiner dominierenden Mutter Julia Mamaea verehelicht wurde, potraitiert. Die tragische Geschichte der Familie, insbesondere des jungen Paares, wurde im 18. Jahrhundert Stoff für Opern von Antonio Lotti (1716) und Giovanbattista Pergolesi (1732).
Dieser Popularität des römischen Kaiserpaares ist auch die Schaffung der beiden Büsten zu danken. Die Köpfe jeweils in hellem, die Togen in gesprenkeltem bräunlichem Marmor; die Sockel rundgedreht, über Basis in Veroneser Marmor. A.R. (1300863) (11)
