myancientworld: Bronze statue of an aristocratic boy, Roman. This life-sized statue dates to the Augustan era, dated around 27 BC- 14 AD. The Romans adopted much of Greek culture, and Rhodes (where the statue was found) was popular with schools of philosophy and rhetoric; the boy wears a Greek himation (cloak) instead of the toga, showing the Greek’s popularity. -- source link
