Aquiline nose
A nose with a prominent bridge that curves outward in profile, like an eagle's beak.
Also: Roman nose, hooked nose
An aquiline nose has a high bridge with a convex curve in profile. The word comes from the Latin for eagle. It is often called a Roman nose because of the profiles on Roman coins and statues, and is found among people of many regions. Old ideas that linked nose shapes to character or nationality are part of physiognomy and have no basis. Stylists say larger or bolder frames often sit well with a strong bridge.
