A ROMAN BRONZE FIGURINE OF APOLLO, CA. 1ST OR 2ND CENTURY AD
A small figurine depicting the image of the Roman god Apollo. Apollo was the god of music, archery, prophecy, healing, and, more famously, the sun. He is the only god in the classical pantheon whose name was not changed between the Greek and Roman traditions. This figurine possibly focuses more on his association with archery depicted by the quiver attached to his back by the belt over one shoulder.
Ancient Roman - CA. 1st or 2nd Century AD
L: 3 1/2 in., (8.9 cm.)
Condition: Overall very good. General wear. Right hand and feet are missing.
