Hello all,
Recently I've been trying to find information about this statue of a general's panoply from Rhodes, which has been posted here on RAT before:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/timothywat/...otostream/
It seems to me that these are two different copies of the same statue. Obviously, I know that the statue is supposed to be from either the 1st-2nd C. BCE, but other than that I can find nothing. Does anyone know if this truly is a representation of a Roman rather than a Greek? Perhaps it is a Roman copy of an earlier Greek work? Or even (gasp) a fake?
Any information or help would be appreciated.
