This is the head of Constantine. Statues like these were common because many emperors had busts like this one and had them to show how god-like they were. It was from around 325 c.a.

BYZANTINE AND MUSLIM CIVILIZATION The Byzantine and Muslim civilization was not similar to other civilizations. The Quran taught that men and women were equal. it also gave women more rights such as the right to own property. They also traded a lot because goods could be shipped across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. The trade with their neighboring people supported the rising of towns and cities in the Arabian Peninsula. They also had many nomads who took caravans across the peninsula in order to trade with others and to help others find their way through the peninsula.
