Gasperini supposed the base to be votive, which would not be incompatible with the Gymnasium which anteceded the Caesareum. However, the lack of footprints on the upper face and the mouldings cut only on three sides are clear clues for the type of bases that supported half-statues of funerary goddesses in Cyrenaean tombs. Moreover, there is no trace of the ephebic graffiti which were added on many monuments standing in the gymnasium. For those reasons, C. Dobias-Lalou suggests that it was brought from one near Necropolis, either Southern or Eastern.
