A Roman copy of a Greek original depicting Goddess Selene - the original was from the early 4th century BC., while this piece is from early imperial times.
She is wearing a chiton and her himation forms the billowing shape behind her. The attributes that confirms her identification is, apart from the raised cloak, the crescent moon on her head the torch in her hand (it might look like the sheath for a dagger, but it's not - but the flame itself is gone).
Selene was the Greek moon goddess (her Roman equivalent was Luna), the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios (the sun) and Eos (the dawn). In Classical times she was often identified with Artemis (and in Rome, Diana).

🇫🇷🐗 HUNTERS DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
👉🏻 This Saturday, tens of thousands of hunters are demonstrating all over France as the government wants to ban a traditional form of hunting for "ecological" reasons.
ℹ️ Hunters represent nearly 1 million people in France and they are particularly feared by the different governments.
👀 Indeed, they live in the rural areas of France, far from the metropolis. They have a rather traditional and minimalist way of life. They are known to support right-wing and far-right parties.
🔥 And above all, they own 2/3 of the firearms in circulation in France, about 20 million weapons.
📌 The government's fear is often that hunters will join protest movements like the Yellow Vests or the movement against the vaccine passport.

🔴 Turkish Coast Guard ship pointed its weapons at a Greek Coast Guard ship near Farmakonisi on Sunday night (19/09)
>https://archive.is/DGoZk
🔸 A boat of the Turkish Coast Guard, which seems to have accompanied a boat with migrants to the Greek island, performed dangerous maneuvers towards the boat of the Greek Coast Guard, which was on patrol in the area and noticed the movement of the boat to Farmakonisi.
🔸 The Turks, however, were not limited to the aggressive maneuvers towards the boat of LS-ELAKT, reaching a breathing distance from the Greek patrol. They also turned their weapons towards the Greek ship and the Officers of the Greek Coast Guard. For several minutes the two boats remained in the area. Finally the Greek boat managed to prevent the boat of illegals from crossing into Greek Territorial Waters and leaving with the Turkish ship
