## Image Caption

A colossal statue of [Vejovis](https://www.worldhistory.org/Vejovis/) (also spelled Vediovis or Veiovis), recovered in a 1939 CE excavation of the [Temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) of Vejovis in [Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/). The head is missing, but long locks of curly hair drape the statue's chest, suggesting a youthful, [Apollo](https://www.worldhistory.org/apollo/)-like image. The missing hands would have likely held Vejovis' cult objects, possibly a bundle of arrows. The statue is thought to date from the Flavian period (late 1st century CE), and is housed at the Capitoline Museum in Rome.
