I had seen this before and knew only that it was Roman. Certainly anachronistic,it looks more like modern depiction,with the elaborate crest and the strange muscled cuirass.
Together with the sandals,the most interesting on him is his chiton.It's one of the very few depictions of the curved and pleated chiton in a realistic sculpture,and Gioi,you can see it favours the way I told you I suspect it was made/like womens's dresses. The fake sleeve,however,shows that it's more modern and not early 5th century.
Does anybody have a bigger photo?I'd like to see the details of the sandals on the original.Very interesting piece indeed!
