An aquiline nose, also called a Roman nose or hooked nose, is a type of nose which has a prominent bridge, giving the appearance of being bent or curved. Aquiline comes from the Latin aquilinus, meaning "eagle-like", alluding to the curved beak-like shape of the nose. If the nose has a distinct slant at the top where it meets the face, or a prominent outwards curve, it should be tagged as such.
