Hadrian’s interest in Greece and Greek culture is well-documented. The emperor’s association with Egypt, however, is often overlooked. In her paper, Ashton will consider the Romano-Egyptian ***sculptural program*** at Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli and will attempt to determine whether it served a decorative or religious function.

statuary / statuary ornamentation /decor(ation)


Explanation:
The use of the word sculptural is misleading in this case and does not provide a good translation, as the word sculptural when combined with adjectives which might otherwise be suitable is misleading (such as sculptural ornamentation, which means ornamentation/decoration of sculptures) . The text tells us that the sculptural pieces are statues, so I suggest you use this knowledge to find an appropriate term. My suggestions above are reflected in the links below:
