Description:
|
|
Seated on a throne a female deity is flanked by a Triton. The work is inspired by a Hellenistic model, the Tyche of Antioch, a personification of the city, by Eutychides (ca. 290 BCE). The Roman reworking of this theme incorporates a marine deity, the small Triton. The work has been variously interpreted as Tethys, the mother of river gods and Oceanids, or Thetis, the mother of Achilles or as Amphitrite, wife of Neptune. Found in Rome, via Marsala near the Termini Station in 1941. (Source: Museo Nazionale Romano; http://archeoroma.be niculturali.it/en/no de/482)
