Verified profile

Excavations at the theater of Caesarea have returned a headless statue, standing on the left leg, flanked by a small pillar. The peplum, hooked on the shoulder, falls back in large folds; the lower edge is raised by the movement of the forearm. On her feet she wears simple sandals. On the left side it has a deep hole that was connected to another hole visible in the folds of the back; it is possible that the statue has been modified to insert it into a water feature. The statuary type, although inspired by Greek models of the fifth century. BC, it spreads as a re-elaboration in Rome, rapidly in the provinces; often this type of statues was placed in nymphaeums or fountains, a reason that authorizes her to be identified as a nymph. The presence of this type in Caesarea underlines how the city was, in the second century. A.D., fully updated on urban models of sculptural furniture.
