A number of heads of emperors have been discovered during the digs at the site.
Amongst these, the portrait of Lucius Verus is particularly noteworthy: he is depicted with a generous head of hair, a full beard and a vivacity that makes it one of the most significant statues yet discovered in Roman Africa.
This African masterpiece was realized in marble from Carrara and still has traces of color amongst the hairs.

The Bardo National Museum also houses a togate man (togatus) that dates from the 3rd century.
It depicts an aged man, who has a short beard and is dressed in a toga.
It seems certain that this is a later work of art reflective of the contemporary taste in art.
