Description
This statue, carved by reusing part of a column, represents a male figure wearing pharaonic garments, flanked by a smaller female figure carrying Isiac symbols. The figures portrayed were long thought to be the emperor Nero and a female member of his family; more recent studies have suggested a depiction of Caesarion, the son of Julius Caesar, and his mother Cleopatra, dating the work to the second half of the 1st Century BC.
