Torso of marine Venus with modern attributes.

Figure of a young woman dressed in a very fine chiton that reveals her body and leaves her shoulders and cleavage free. Roman replica of a type whose interpretation and dating are subject to controversy. Models ranging from Aphrodite to a nymph have been proposed, with dates ranging from the 4th to the 2nd century BC. The "Marine Venus" type was defined by Becatti as a single female figure, standing alone, with a naked torso and with the attribute of a small pillar with a pitcher on top of it, on which the right arm rests and the whole weight of the figure rests. The original attributes are missing from this figure, which have been replaced by some modern and disproportionate additions, such as the right arm with the snake and the left hand. The head and the pedestal, with the feet carved from a single piece, do not belong to the Roman original either.
