In antiquity this marble sculpture represented an attendant of the oriental god Mithras and would have held a torch but, in the 18th century, the arms were restored with attributes of the Trojan prince Paris. It was discovered outside Rome in 1785 and sold by the dealer Thomas Jenkins to Count Fries in Vienna in 1787.
