Description:
|
Dated to the middle of the first century BCE. Found in 1777 in the locality of the Tor Tre Teste district (Municipio VII along the Via Praenestina) in Rome. Acquired by the Roman National Museum from the Veneziani family in 1997. The head is not original to the sculpture, although it is ancient; it was added in the eighteenth century. She is identified as a Maenad, a follower of Dionysus/Bacchus because she wears an animal skin on her shoulders and carries a young fawn or hind.
