DescriptionSo-called Tivoli General (14602620138).jpg
Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo alle Terme
This statue combines the late republican style of veristic portraiture with the earlier Hellenistic ideal. we thus are left with a statue with the head of a old general on the body of a youthful Hellenistic hero. The cuirass on the right serves as a prop to support the statue, especially the draped cloak, and it offers a symbols of the person's potential rank within society. It isn't the armor of a mere soldier, but it is the type of armor a general would wear.
