Jasper statuette of a man wearing a toga, Early Imperial, Julio-Claudian or Flavian, 1st century A.D., Roman, Jasper, H. 7 3/8 in. (18.7 cm), Stone Sculpture, The toga was worn only by Roman citizens, and until A.D. 212, citizenship was restricted to the freeborn male inhabitants of Italy and a few privileged groups in the provinces. Jasper is a rare and expensive stone, so this statuette must have portrayed a prominent member of the citizen body, perhaps the emperor himself in the guise of the Princeps (First Citizen)
