That statue showed either zeus or poseidon depending on the weapon in the hand, so I just made both. It was kind of difficult to find a representation for how the ancient greek imagined a thunderbolt, but I certainly didn't want some harry-potter-kind zigzag thunderbolt. I made two separate meshes, but we could also add the weapon as a prop if that's better. Both models can use the cover prop. I'm not sure about the colours though. I added eyeballs, so when we have the final colours I'd like to add this (with gimp?):

The empty eye-sockets were originally inset, probably with bone, as well as the eyebrows (with silver), the lips, and the nipples (with copper).

@wowgetoffyourcellphone maybe you could have a look and tweak it a little? Also I just used a brightened diffuse as spec map for now, but I could bake something if needed.

I think the trident would be balanced like a spear, so that his hand would be at roughly midpoint of the shaft. Also, can the modesty prop have wrinkles in it?

Could we modify Athena to be Rome?

This is Roma or Rome the goddess.

looks better with more contrast on the uv map again. Is that the right position for the trident? I will see what I can do about the wrinkles
