Found in the Tempio tetrastilo (I,XV,2).
H. 0.63, l. of the foot 0.33.
On the sandals are parts of the skin of wild animals.
The legs formed part of a statue of Lucius Verus in the Tempio tetrastilo (I,XV,2), where Asclepius was the main deity (inv. nr. 114). Other fragments of the same statue are an arm and a hand holding a globe (inv. nrs. 1089, 1057, and 1064). In the cella of the temple inscriptions were found recording dedications to Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius, from 167 AD and 166-169 AD (EDR107508 and EDR107509). The statue was accompanied by a statue of Verus' wife Lucilla as Hygieia: see inv. nr. 27.
