Description
Thoracatus from the Roman theatre that, together with MNAT 7582 and MNAT 45602, formed part of the decoration of the scaenae frons. It is an emperor dressed as a general with a cuirass decorated with geometric motifs and three serpents (from the head of Medusa).There are different hypotheses regarding the chronology of these statues, which makes it difficult to identify the characters they represent correctly.
