Statue at British Museum - 1 September 2021

The description of this statue at the British Museum is fairly non-committal and, as far as I know, was not specifically connected to the Nero exhibition of 2021.

The accompanying placard is titled 'Marble statue of a youth on horseback' and continues 'From Rome, perhaps 1st century AD'.

'This sculpture appears to represent a Roman prince of the ruling Julio-Claudian Dynasty. It was restored in the 16th century by the Italian Renaissance architect and sculptor, Giacomo della Porta.'
