Roman nose

High-bridged profile feature

A Roman nose has a prominent bridge that curves outward, creating a convex profile sometimes compared to an eagle's beak.

The term references classical sculptures of ancient Romans, which often depicted this aquiline feature: He had a strong Roman nose and square jaw.
