Estátua de um jovem aristocrata

Roma

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

Esta estátua de tamanho natural foi encontrada na ilha grega de Rodes, um rico e florescente centro comercial e cultural durante o período romano. Com o rosto largo e cabelo curto, este jovem se assemelha aos jovens príncipes da família imperial de Augusto, mas talvez fosse filho de um membro da classe governante ou um funcionário romano proeminente destacado em Rodes. Em vez da toga romana tradicional usa um himation (manto) grego, talvez para indicar que era um estudante de uma das famosas escolas de filosofia e retórica da ilha.
