Indeed an interesting sculpture. Since it was erected here by the river, it is probably Neptune, the Roman god of flowing waters, gushing springs or also of the weather. The fact that the Via Claudia Augusta (built at the beginning of the 1st century AD) also leads here suggests this conclusion. Neptune and Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, were only generally equated at the beginning of the 3rd century AD. What is unusual about this sculpture, however, is the body posture: in antiquity, both Neptune and Poseidon were depicted standing upright. Perhaps the artist wanted to express with the lying depiction that Neptune or Poseidon are retiring to rest, no longer have power, and should keep their hands off the bridge🧐🧜‍♂️🖐😴.
