This limestone statue depicts a citizen from the city of Oxyrhynchus (part of modern-day El-Bahnasa, Egypt). Traces of the original colors can still be seen. The man wears a toga dress. The city developed a culture influenced by Greece and Rome; this is clearly reflected in the man's toga. Egypt, 300-200 BCE. (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK)
