The torso, represented in heroic nudity, shows the figure's powerful, athletically built body to advantage. The individual muscles are precisely defined. The figure stands in easy contrapposto, which its weight resting on its left leg. The left shoulder is covered with a cloak that cascades down the back, is wrapped around the left arm and continues down to the calf. The figure holds a short sword in its left hand, the hilt of which is preserved. The ring finger is adorned by a ring. In the late Roman Republic, honorary statues employing the convention of heroic nudity, which doubtlessly stood in the tradition of Hellenistic-Greek models or types, were set up to honour meritorious citizens or municipalities. This form of representation was, however, less frequently used than that of the toga statue. The statue of C. Ofellius Ferus from Delos is an impressive example of the former. Head and feet lost. Repairs (probably ancient) to the lower end of the tree trunk.
