guy Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 (edited) Three Roman bronze statuettes have been found during excavations in Reims, France. Reims was known as the Roman city of Durocortorum, the second-largest city in Roman Gaul, with a population estimated between 30,000 and 50,000, possibly as high as 100,000. Quote Excavations uncovered three bronze statuettes depicting Mars, a bull, and an unknown goddess. The statuette of Mars features an intricate armour design, including a Medusa on the cuirass and a relief of the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus. The statuette of the goddess shows a female figure wielding Hercules’ club, a serpent, and the Nemean lion’s skin, adorned with a sphinx-engraved helmet. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/12/opulent-statuettes-found-in-roman-domus-excavations/154090 Video on previous Roman excavations at the site: Edited December 9 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
