Published:
Catalogo delle pregevoli collezioni di oggetti d'arte e mobili antichi, al Marchese di Riofreddo ed ai signori Gagliardi di Firenze, Casa di vendite Jandolo & Tavazzi, Rome, April 27 April - 15 May 15th, 1908, no. 428, pl. VIII.

Three dimensional sculptures of women are less commonly depicted wearing the toga, a garment more typically reserved for men, cf. H. Goette, Studien zu römischen Togadarstellungen, Mainz, 1990, p. 158f.

The ancient head added to the present statue shows the idealised features of a goddess, replacing the original likely portrait head of an individual.
