Description:
|
This is an assemblage, created in the 19th century, of different ancient Roman fragments. The funerary altar dates from the 1st century CE and was from the Cesarini collection and then passed to the Boncompagni Ludovisi collection. Lunense marble. Restored in the fifteenth century with the addition of a Christian inscription. On top of this altar is a funeral urn with no lid originally from the collection of Cardinal Giovanni Ricci (Montepulciano); dated at the end of the first century CE. This urn supports the gray marble Bust of a Satyr from Aphrodisias, Turkey with inset eyes, also 1st century CE. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
