marmo bianco

The head is broken at the neck with a clean cut at the back, allowing it to be identified as a hermit or decorative element, to be viewed only from the front. The face is oval, slightly asymmetrical on the right, with a low forehead. The eyes are large and the eyelids fleshy. The lower eyelid is emphasised by an incised line. The nostrils are marked by deep wrinkles. The mouth has a lower lip that is much fuller than the upper lip and is emphasised by a deep dimple. The forehead is framed by hair that falls in large waves from the centre parting and then falls in a compact mass along the neck. The hair is topped by a double crown of wheat ears, a reference to the cult of fertility, which is linked to the college of the Fratres Alvares, an institution founded by Romulus and reformed by Augustus, with frequent appearances of the attribute in various imperial portraits. Perhaps the hermit is to be identified as the personification of Ceres. From the theatre of Libarna (AL).

ferro

Spearhead from Tomb I in Savignone (GE), of which only the part along the median ribbing remains.

marmo

Mutilated milestone, in which the upper surface is missing. The first line of the inscription is somewhat affected by the lacuna. Until 1885, the artefact was located in the chapel of St. Limbania under the church of St. Thomas, where it remained until 1885, when the church was demolished for the construction of the Principe station.

terracotta

Jar with a square mouth, lenticular body topped by a tall prismatic neck, with two horizontal handles on the shoulder. The surface is decorated with graffito with triple bands of lines on the shoulder and three pairs of vertical lines with horizontal hatching on the upper part. Found in the Caverna delle Arene Candide (SV).
