A Roman statue thought to date between the first century BCE and the first century AD has been found in the Italian city of Tusculum, outside Rome. Tusculum was a popular resort area for wealthy Romans. Cato the Elder was born there.

Pizzo specified that “some characteristic elements, such as the fawn skin that covers his shoulders, allow us to hypothesize that it is a figure that can be traced back to a Dionysian context, chronologically framed between the mid-1st century BC and the mid-1st century AD.”
