Italiano: Statue in stile egittizzante, rinvenute nel 1779 nella cosiddetta Villa di Cassio a Tivoli. Databili al II sec. d.C., probabilmente facevano parte di un gruppo scultoreo dedicato ad Antinoo e a Zeus Casio. Quest'ultimo era una divinità protettrice dei naviganti, oggetto di culto in Siria (dove probabilmente Adriano lo conobbe) e nell'antica città egizia di Pelusio (il cui tempio Adriano fece restaurare).
