roman-nosed
Convex nasal bridge
Roman-nosed describes a nose with a high, prominent bridge that creates a convex profile—curving outward rather than lying flat or turning up.
The term comes from classical Roman portrait sculpture, where such noses appear frequently.
It's used of both people and animals, especially horses: a roman-nosed mare.
