Description
An emblematic figure, he appears suddenly among the laurel branches, and his attitude inspires royalty and secrecy, He is a man wrapped in a broad cloak that also covers his head, in his right hand he holds a patera, while with his left hand he seems to be pointing a way forward. This type of clothing, in Roman times, distinguished judges and magistrates, and the patera he holds in his hand, an Etruscan symbol of ritual offering, has a close relationship with the "cup" and all the symbolism associated with it.
