- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. first half of the 3rd century CE. A hammered sheet-bronze standard of a triangular form depicting four registers of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures in repousse. The central register displays Jupiter Dolichenus - here as the triumphant emperor Jupiter Optimus Maximus Dolichenus holding a double-headed axe in his right hand and a thunderbolt in his left - and his wife Juno Regina - a goddess prayed to for political reasons and in times of war - each standing on a bull in front of an altar. Above them are busts of Sol and Luna as well as a majestic eagle with a wreath in its beak, and below are a pair of horses behind the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux. Fine brown and green patina envelop this wonderful example of Roman bronze! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 9.375" W x 16" H (23.8 cm x 40.6 cm); 17.5" H (44.4 cm) on included custom stand.
