Description	The countenance bears a young resemblance to the Divus Julius, and a laurel encircles its bald head; it is covered with the paludamentum., ( a rich military garment or robe of purple or scarlet interweaved with gold and rich studs) or Imperial Robe, and wears the military vest or tunic and a sort of caligae on the feet; the right arm curves upwards, has the globe or orb, the emblem of power, and the other gracefully holds what I should call the perizonium or martial baton, thrown back over the left shoulder (Shortt). Bidwell says that he was unable to locate the figure in the BM and that while it does appear that the figure is in military dress, one cannot be certain of the identification.
