Descrizione: The aim of this article is to explore the possibility that the statue of a bacchante recently found in the excavations of the ancient city of Tusculum is one of the statues that Cicero acquired in 46 BCE, a work by Evander, a sculptor and modeller, of whom until now we only knew through literary sources. The review of the sources, the analysis of the cultural and historical context, and the exquisite finish of the work, support this identification, as well as the possible relationship of the author and the work with the copyist workshop of Puteoli.
