Descripción
This statue was probably part of a statuary group portraying and honouring members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty that ruled Rome from the time of Augustus to that of Nero. The stance of this partially nude figures brings to mind the canonic works of Polykleitos, one of the most famous Greek sculptors of the fifth century BC, and was almost certainly intended to give a heroizing aura to the statues. It has been argued that the draping of the mantle around the hips and over the arm was a specific iconographic indication that the individual being honoured was already deceased.
