The cast reproduces the statue of the cd. Prince of the Baths represented by a young man with a beard, whose face is framed by wavy locks of hair. The furrowed forehead, the arched eyebrows, the small hollow eyes, with the prominent cheekbones well highlighted and the fleshy half-open mouth, the pronounced chin. In a naked position, in a heroic pose, with well-defined muscles, the left arm is up, leaning on the rod, while the right is carried behind the back; the left leg is brought back, resting only with the fingers, while the right is forward. The original, from which the cast derives, is in the National Roman Museum; it is in bronze and is original from the beginning of the 2nd century BC. Found in 1885, in a building belonging to the Baths of Constantine on the occasion of the excavation for the construction of the National Dramatic Theater.
