This Roman general rides his horse proudly. The mount has no saddle and the rider presses his legs against the animal's muscular flanks. In his left hand is the commander's staff: he seems about to give his troops the signal to attack. The horse is a mass of power and health. It proceeds with dignity, head held high, tail tied with ribbon. The sculptor Jacopo Tatti made this decorative, classical statue in the second half of the sixteenth century.
