Imperial statue

This statue from the Palantine hill is from the Imperial period. Honestly the only reason I knew what time this was from was the caption underneath it. I was hoping to find something clearly different from the Republican era. We talked about how the idea of angels was taken from cupid and how they usually did not have beards. I was looking for these qualities among others but most statues were not whole any more. The statue I chose has no head or arms so it was hard to tell what made this an Imperial statue. This statue is of Aphrodite, the detail makes it look more like a republican statue. I would guess that this was for personal use in a home because I see no religous purpose for it. Regardless it was a beautiful statue will very much detail on the clothing.
