EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient marble statue depicts Athena, the revered Goddess of Wisdom and War from the ancient Roman civilization. The sculpture, originating from the 2nd century AD, is currently housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Athena is shown in a bust format, with her age-worn features exuding a sense of timeless elegance and power. The Goddess's helmet, which has been pushed up on her forehead, is adorned with intricate decorations. The sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, graces the helmet's crest. The cheek guards of the helmet feature relief carvings of rams' horns, symbolizing strength and power. Monsters on ancient Roman helmets and shields were believed to serve a dual purpose: they were intended to scare the enemy and protect the bearer against evil. This intriguing aspect of ancient Roman military culture adds an intriguing layer to this depiction of Athena. The Goddess Athena holds a significant place in both Greek and Roman mythology, as she was considered the patron goddess of Athens, the ancient Greek city. She was also the goddess of wisdom, crafts, and strategic warfare. Her presence in Rome underscores the cultural exchange and interconnectedness between the two ancient civilizations. This exquisite marble bust is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of ancient Rome and Greece. It invites us to reflect on the enduring influence of these civilizations on our modern world and the timeless nature of human creativity and innovation.
