Context:

This bronze figure portrays a young member of a wealthy Roman family. The style of the idealizing portrait clearly indicates that the subject wished to be shown in the guise of a prince of the imperial family. While the figure has at times been identified as either Gaius or Lucius Caesar, grandsons of the emperor Augustus (r. 31 B.C.-A.D. 14), it is better to regard the statue as belonging to a member of the ruling elite on Rhodes, possibly set up in his honor by his native city. The statue was found on Rhodes, and presumably made there.
