Heracles (Eracle)

This gilded bronze statue was found in 1864 beneath the courtyard of the Palazzo Pio Righetti, near Campo de' Fiori, in the area of Pompey's Theatre. Shortly afterwards it was given to Pope Pius IX (1846-1878). At the moment of discovery the statue was lying horizontally in a trench and covered by a slab of travertin on which the letters FCS (Fulgur Conditum Summanium) had been cut. The statue had, therefore, been struck by lightning and, following the Roman custom, had been granted a ritual burial together with the remains of a lamb. The statue was restored by Pietro Tenerani who made repairs using plaster and bronze. It shows a young Heracles leaning on his club, with the skin of the Nemean lion over his arm, and the apples of the Hesperides in his left hand. The work was, perhaps, inspired by a model from the Attic School of between 390 and 370 B.C. and has been variously dated to between the end of the 1st and the beginning of the 3rd century A.D.

Statue of Hera

Formerly in the Barberini Collection, it entered the Museums in 1772 and was restored and integrated by Gaspare Sibilla. This is a mid-2nd century AD copy of a late Hellenic original that, in turn, derived from a masterpiece produced by an artist from Phidias' school in the second half of the 5th century BC. (inv 249)

The relief in the modern base came from the Barberini Collection. It is part of a child's sarcophagus dating to the last decades of the 3rd century that portrayed a frantic chariot race in Circus Maximus; This site can clearly be identified from the buildings shown and the decorations along the "spina", the long dividing structure that ran down the centre of the circus.

Statue of the emperor Galba

This statue was found in 1776 below the Aurelian Walls near Santa Croce in Gerusalemme and sold to the Museums by Bartolomeo Caceppi who reworked the face as that of the emperor Galba, possibly ruining it in the process. He also integrated the arms and lower body. The original torso the work was, however, part of colossal statue of a figure seated on a throne. Traces suggested that a metal diadem was fixed to the top of the head suggest that this is the portrait of a Greek dynast sculpted in the 1st century BC. (inv. 246)

The fragment of a Neo-Attic relief dating to the Julius-Claudius era and inserted in a modern base is from the area of Ostia Antica.
