These, dated in the IInd c. A.C. and beginning of the IIIrd, and found in a clear religious context, there resemble, after the stylistic analysis of his hairdoes, the productions of major estatuaria of the empresses and imperial princesses of these moments, relating in relation to votive offerings or offerings the ladies of the imperial domus of this period.
