Description:
|
|
The colossal marble group of Severian period (end of second, beginning of third century CE) was found in the Baths of Caracalla. The group is made up of a naked warrior, wearing a chlamys hooked behind his back and a sword on his left side, moving forward and carrying on his shoulders the body of a young boy wounded in the chest. The warrior’s left hand is gripping the right foot of the young boy in the act of throwing him away. The group represents a heroic subject and it might depict Achilles and Troilus, or Neoptolemus and Astyanax. The interpretation is made difficult by heavy restorations done by G.B. Della Porta. The head is modern and made to depict Commodus to confirm the emperor’s cruelty. From the Farnese Collection.
