About this photo

The museum tour continues with this striking head of Athena, dating from the 1st century AD. Wearing a finely sculpted Corinthian helmet, the goddess appears to observe visitors with a serene yet determined gaze, faithful to her role as guardian of wisdom, strategic warfare, and the arts.


Her face, with its noble features, both idealized and expressive, testifies to the refinement of Roman art influenced by classical Greek models.

It's easy to imagine this head once crowning an imposing statue, enthroned in the heart of a majestic setting near the imperial villa.
