This statue is made of green basalt and dressed in military uniform. The nose was destroyed, possibly due to a cross carved on the forehead by Christians in the late Christian period. There are other damaged areas around the chest and nose. This statue is 47 centimeters high, 30 centimeters wide, and 24 centimeters deep. It is carved with the image of Nicus, the nephew of Roman Emperor Augustus and the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. This statue may have been made around 19 AD and is currently on display in the G70 exhibition hall of the British Museum.
