The term's cultural meaning is of great importance in Western art and literature: a straight nose, in racialist discourse, frequently indicates a kind of nobility like that of the Latins. |

An aquiline nose (also called a Roman nose) is a human nose with a prominent bridge, giving it the appearance of being curved or slightly bent. The word aquiline comes from the Latin word aquilinus ("eagle-like"), a reference to the curved beak of an eagle.
Occurrences
Although the aquiline nose is met among people from nearly every nation in the world, it is most frequent in certain ethnic groups originating from Southern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa and South Asia. According to racial typology, aquiline noses are most frequent amongst the Oriental race and Armenoid race. However, it is also often seen in the Mediterranean race, where it is known as the "Roman nose" when found amongst Italians, the French and Spanish. This aquiline hooked-nose was also a distinctive feature of some Native American tribes, members of which often took their names after their own characteristic physical attributes (i.e. The Hook Nose, or Chief Henry Roman Nose).[1]
