Miles Romanus

Ancient bronze warrior belonging to the Hellenistic-Roman age.

This small sculpture in cast bronze is still covered with a shiny dark green and compact coat. The figure depicts a standing warrior leaning on his right leg, while his left leg is bent and slightly set back. The arms are wide apart from the torso and outstretched. The figure wears a large helmet and an armour that leaves the legs uncovered. The specimen is intact in all its parts except for a small missing piece from its left hand which was lost during the course of the centuries.

Although the work is not protected by constrain from the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali,  it cannot be exported outside the Italian national territory.
