Where in the world is this?

Help me locate this statue...

Someone took this pic of me 30 years ago, and have forgotten where I was at the time. I am sure it is Europe, likely Greece [tho' the statue looks more Roman to my eyes]. Does anyone recognise it, and where it is located? Cheers!

No help on the where, but it is Roman in style - probably an Emperor in the style of Augustus of Prima Porta.

Best answer: I think it's the statue of Hadrian in the Ancient Agora of the Acropolis.
