Sculpture showing boy

Sculpture showing a boy in his youth, from the 1st century CE. The object was discovered in the Tomb of Licinius in Rome. The artifact is located in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (Denmark).

Scientists believe that the object may represent Pompey Magnus, who traces his origins to an ancestor of the same name who married the daughter of Emperor Claudius – Claudia Antonia. Pompey was to die on the ruler’s order, along with his father and mother, in 47 CE.
