Sculptural version of the  Roman sculpture 'Genius of the Senate', this figure was discovered in a pond  in 1973  during archaeological excavations  in Mérida opposite the western façade of the Temple of Diana. The original dates from the second half of the second century- Antoniana era and is currently at the National Museum of Roman Art. Divinity tutelary of the Empire, represented by a bearded male wearing a toga and below it a sleeved tunic ending above the feet. His gaze is serene, the head is slightly tilted and turned to his right. Hair in curly locks. The right arm is missing and the left arm is slightly raised to the right holding the robe. He is pointing with his right hand. In his left hand, with a ring on the ring finger, there would have been a book. The feet do not touch the ground. It seems it would have been kept in a niche as part of the wall. It is markedly in the classical style. The material used in the sculpture is  bronze.
