This fragmented marble statue, found on Byrsa Hill in Carthage, shows a Roman figure wrapped in heavy drapery. Despite the missing head and arms, the folds of the garment are preserved with remarkable detail, reflecting the craftsmanship of Roman sculptors. The pose suggests dignity and public stature, common in statues representing citizens or officials of the Roman colony.
Byrsa Hill, the ancient acropolis of Carthage, became a central Roman forum after the destruction of the Punic city. Statues like this one stand as enduring witnesses to the transformation of Carthage from Punic stronghold to Roman metropolis.
