Roman copy after a Hellenistic variant of Phidias's statue of Zeus the Olympian. Sculpture, late 2nd–3rd century AD Roman Empire. Weight 930 kg., A marble statue of a seated bearded man with long wavy hair, shown from head to feet, posed with one arm raised and the other resting on his lap; he wears a draped garment over his lower body that creates flowing folds, and his exposed torso shows defined musculature and a weathered surface.
