Bust of Sol Invictus; Rome, II-III centuries. Bronze. Presents mineral deposits, green and red patina and loss of rays. Measurements: 7 x 4, 5 x 3 cm. Rare Roman bronze bust of Sol Invictus. It represents the young sun god with a crown of seven rays (now disappeared) on his voluminous curls and a mantle buckled on the right shoulder. The Romans brought two important novelties to the world of sculpture: portraiture and historical relief, neither of which existed in the Greek world. However, they followed Greek models for much of their sculptural production, a base that in Rome would be combined with the Etruscan tradition. After the first contacts with the Greece of classicism through the colonies of Magna Graecia, the Romans conquered Syracuse in 212 BC, a rich and important Greek colony located in Sicily, adorned with a large number of Hellenistic works. The city was sacked and its artistic treasures taken to Rome, where the new style of these works soon replaced the Etruscan-Roman tradition that had prevailed until then. Cato himself denounced the sacking and decoration of Rome with Hellenistic works, which he considered a dangerous influence on native culture, and deplored the Romans' applauding of statues from Corinth and Athens, while ridiculing the decorative terracotta tradition of ancient Roman temples. However, these oppositional reactions were in vain; Greek art had subdued Etruscan-Roman art in general, to the point that Greek statues were among the most coveted prizes of war, being displayed during the triumphal procession of the conquering generals. It shows mineral deposits, green and red patina and lightning loss.

Male head. Late Roman Empire, 2nd-3rd century AD. Marble stone. Measurements: 36 x 19 x 20 cm. The protagonist of this sculpture, a middle-aged man, looks at the viewer in a calm attitude. His eyes completely open, expectant and directed to a concrete point, reveal the restlessness of the character and stand out for their naturalistic character. The detail in its execution, especially reflected in the individualized hair and the expressive firmness of his face, demonstrate the skillful ability of an artist fully trained in sculptural instruction. The Lower Roman Empire or Late Roman Empire is the historical period extending from the rise of Diocletian to power in 284 to the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476. It succeeds the High Roman Empire begun by Caesar Augustus in 27 BC.

Ram's head patera handle; Rome, I-II AD. Bronze. It shows mineral deposits and part of the right horn is missing. Measurements: 17 x 7 x 3 cm. Cast bronze handle from ancient Rome, very fine and well preserved, which may have belonged to a patera. The handle is modeled in the form of a fluted column shaft, which ends in a ram's head with horns in the form of scrolls. The facial features of the animal are depicted in a naturalistic manner, with fine details such as the texture of the carefully incised wool. The base of the handle, where it would join the body of the vessel, is a curved sheet of metal with symmetrical protrusions, decorated with a vegetal design in relief.
