Torso of a male figure clad in a toga, standing, with the head and both arms missing. The drapery displays the characteristic arrangement of a 2nd-century toga: the diagonal panel (balteus) crossing the chest, the mass of folds gathered into a roll (umbo) at the side, and the sinus falling in broad, curved folds.
