Kneeling Parthian
Roman sculpture showing a kneeling Parthian. The object dates back to around 20 BCE and was discovered in Afyonkarahisar (western Türkiye). The artifact is located in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (Denmark).
Scientists suspect that the sculpture once decorated a larger composition in Rome and was created to celebrate Augustus’ victory over the Parthians.
