#Antefix - Twitter Hashtag

This splendid terracotta #antefix in medium #relief is my offering for #ReliefWednesday this week. It shows #JunoSospita, a terrifying huntress divinity of the Latial peoples, and comes from the ruins of #Antemnæ, one of the #Sabine towns whose women were taken by #Romulus.

#ReliefWednesday takes us to the town of #Gabii, 18 km east of #Rome, where this splendid #antefix was found. This is #Typhon, vengeful son of Mother Earth and enemy of the #Olympian gods, done in a #Latial style identical to work found from the same period in Rome.

For a belated #ReliefWednesday as I wait in #Catania airport for my flight to #Rome, my smile eerily resembles that of this #terracotta #antefix from a civic building in the ancient #Greek centre of #Tauromenion, today's #Taormina. It was found buried beneath the #Roman baths.

For #ReliefWednesday we're being scared off by a magnificent #antefix from the roof of the gigantic temple of #Minerva at #Veii just north of #Rome. The #sculptor is thought to be #Vulca, also author of the first statue of #Capitoline #Jupiter.

#Etruscan terracotta antefix w/t head of Silenus in #polychrome from Perugia, 4th-3rd cent BCE. Now in the Nat. Archaeological Museum of Umbria, Perugia, Italy. An antefix is ornament at the eaves of a classical building that conceals the ends of the joint tiles of the roof.

The Race To Recover Italy’s Looted Etruscan Treasures The #Etruscan #antefix is not withdrawn & the sale concludes at £8,500. Lot 448 seems lost, but as Albertson comments, “Sometimes what appears to be a loss can turn into a triumphant win.” https://t.co/zUCwjE0DCV

It's #cats day for #MuseumsUnlocked! These gorgon antefix tiles are from #Caerleon #Roman fortress in #Wales. They'd have been on the roof looking down at you from the end of a row of imbreces, and ideally warding off evil spirits.. #RomanBritain #RomanArchaeology #Archaeology
