Hi Bella!

Your "History and Significance" portion is great - you clearly have a lot of information, but through your paragraph structure, it was an easy and intuitive read. I enjoyed how you added some notes on the significance of Eumachia as a woman with financial power in ancient Rome and the social/political tension that comes with that, and think this is your strongest contribution to the existing article because while it is a neutral perspective, it allows us to really understand why the statue is important. One thing I would suggest you explore further is the "Statue" portion, specifically the last sentence where you talk about her lack of unique characteristics (You say: "The face's classicizing traits are so highlighted that her face is nearly devoid of individualizing characteristics"). I would suggest potentially going further and highlighting the implications and/or roots of this choice: what does a lack of individualizing characteristics say about her and the role that her statue plays in the Roman landscape? Was this typical at the time? Your bibliography is very strong and I'm excited to see the final article!
