I wonder what information they used to date him. Yes, he is unbearded, so early third C is unlikely, but stylewise, he does make me think of that era. One reason why I am curious after the text...

Also, this is where more comparative material from Northern Italy would be useful. Definitely time to have a good imagebase research campaign there!
Greets!
