Bacchon in his Cape ?

There is a character in #Plutarchs #Amatorius  called #Bacchon described as a youth or young man in his late teens an ephebe wearing a cape. I saw this image of a statue found at Tralles and thought this could be very similar to the cape Bacchon wore and perhaps his posture and character described as thoughtful and respectful. 

Do read Plutarchs" Amatorious ?


If you can read Greek I'm doing a commentary in instalments over on my Metousia Patreon  in the Hellenika tier.
