It looks like this Roman copy (you can tell by looking at the rock behind his leg) is proposing to someone, but who?

It does look rather like him....but also reminds me of some depictions of Mithras...without the Phrygian hat...
I think I have seen Alexander in those style of boots before..... but where :roll: regards Arthes

I didn't know what a Genius was, Comerus. Thanks for the explanation.
He still looks like Alexander to me, though (even if he isn't) :lol:

Oh really ? I've never seen a statue of Triton until now. Yeah, that does resemble Alexander too, it seems. Great photo.

I belive it is an evolution of Triptolemos who was taught by godess DIMITRA the secrets of Agriculture. Triptolemos appears in Classical art as the statue in thr first picture.
Kind regards
