介绍（中）	奥古斯都皇帝一上台，就启动了一项旨在恢复美德、荣誉和虔诚的悠久价值观的计划。宗教崇拜被复兴，寺庙被建造，公共仪式和祭祀充斥着日历。每个等级的人都选择以虔诚的牺牲来表现。这里所见的流行雕塑展示了在宗教仪式上充当助手的年轻男孩这尊雕像是从最高贵的家族中选出的一位侍从，其身份是基于与其他舞台和浮雕的比较，最著名的是著名的纪念碑奥古斯都的阿拉·帕西斯（Ara Pacis of Augustus）。根据罗马的传统，卡米拉必须在青春期以下，父母必须都健在。这尊雕像可能是男孩的父母为了表彰他对神灵的贡献而奉献给了一个避难所。或者，它精致的装饰品质可能标志着它在宗教区域内被用作装饰，例如在牧师的餐厅该人物的眼睛用银镶嵌，嘴唇用铜镶嵌，束腰外衣用铜条镶嵌，以暗示编织或刺绣的颜色带。他很可能左手拿着一个盛香的容器，右手拿着一只盛酒的罐子或一个勺子。
介绍（英）	As soon as he took power, the emperor Augustus set in motion a program aimed at restoring the time-honored values of virtue, honor, and piety. Religious cults were revived, temples were built, public ceremonies and sacrifices filled the calendar. Men of every rank chose to be portrayed in the act of pious sacrifice. The popular type of sculpture seen here showed young boys who served as acolytes at religious ceremonies. The identification of this figure as a camillus, an attendant at sacrifices who was chosen from the noblest families, is based on comparisons with other stages and reliefs, most notably those of the famous monument, the Ara Pacis of Augustus. According to Roman tradition, a camillus had to be below the age of puberty, and both parents must be alive. This statue may have been dedicated at a sanctuary by the boy’s parents, in recognition of his service to the gods. Alternatively, its refined decorative qualities may signal its use as an adornment within a religious precinct, for instance in a dining room for priests. The figure’s eyes are inlaid with silver, the lips with copper, and the tunic with strips of copper to suggest woven or embroidered bands of color. He likely held ritual objects such as a container for incense in his left hand and a jug for wine or a ladle in his right.
