Sculpture of goddess with crown

Sculpture of a goddess with a crown. The head has been preserved and was placed on a powerful statue of a goddess, who was probably the personification of the city in Latium. The proof of this is a crown in the shape of walls.

The object dates back to the period of the Flavian dynasty (69-96 CE) – at that time, there was a fashion for women’s hairstyles such as “snail curls”, which we see on the sculpture. The artifact is located in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (Denmark).
