Figure of a striding man dressed in a tunic and toga. The folds of the toga flow widely, with a slit at the left leg. The head is a large addition, with closely cropped hair and beard carved with short cuts of a pointed chisel. The face has prominent jaws, a tight mouth, drawn eyebrows, and a stern expression; the pupils are marked. Profiled base, rectangular at the front and rounded at the sides behind the back of the figure. Roman statue, unknown Roman workshop. 2nd–3rd century torso 2nd century AD, head late 3rd century AD; earlier dating: 1st–2nd century AD. Roman Empire 27 BC–476. Sculpture. Weight 928 kg., The image shows a close-up of a carved pale stone surface with draped fabric and a rounded foot forming part of a statue, resting on a flat base. The stone appears mostly off-white with subtle gray veining and faint beige and tan discolorations. The drapery has carved folds and a few smooth curved lines, and the foot shows carved seams suggesting footwear. The base contains several shallow rectangular and irregular depressions and chips, and there is a dark area along the lower edge contrasting with the lighter stone.
