Stone Carving

My favourite piece. Female on a rock. Identified as Rhea Silvia encountering Mars from which the future founder of Rome would be the offspring. She's carved in Carrara marble. 1st C. BC

 Eaves!
I Gregorious :O)


 Hail Caesar's Grandson.




 An amazing capital. These mediate between columns and the load above.

The Byzantine's obviously didn't give a flying **** about the Capitals, used them as infills in their walls!
