A Roman period bronze bust of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare in ancient Greek mythology, would exhibit exquisite craftsmanship. The bust would likely showcase Athena's iconic attributes, such as the Corinthian helmet, aegis (protective cloak), and possibly an owl, symbolizing wisdom. The use of bronze allowed for fine detailing, capturing the goddess's serene and noble countenance. These busts, often created for private and public display, celebrated Athena's revered status. Excavated examples contribute to our understanding of the assimilation of Greek mythology and art into Roman culture during this period.
