Estatua de un joven aristócrata

27 BCE–14 CE

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

Esta estatua de tamaño natural fue encontrada en la isla griega de Rodas, un rico y floreciente centro comercial y cultural durante el periodo romano. Con su rostro ancho y cabello corto, este muchacho se asemeja a los jóvenes príncipes de la familia imperial de Augusto, pero quizás era el hijo de un miembro de la clase gobernante o de un importante funcionario romano destacado en Rodas. En vez de la toga romana tradicional, lleva un himation (manto) griego, tal vez para indicar que era alumno de una de las celebradas escuelas de filosofía y retórica de la isla.
