The statue crowned the funerary monument of a naval officer, represented in heroic nakedness with the armor resting on the leg and the cingulum for the sword. The gemstone ring indicates that it was a high-ranking character, whose achievements at sea are evoked by the bow of a ship originally inserted in the monument. The statue was found in a locality a few kilometers from Aquileia, where the villa of the deceased probably stood.
