Trophy relief fragment
Not on view
In Roman cities across the empire, relief panels depicting weapons and armor were set into large-scale monuments to commemorate military victories. Symbolic of Imperial power, they served as enduring records of success in battle. This relief preserves a cuirass (breastplate) modeled to mimic male ideal musculature set against weaponry, including a set of three spears and a shield, with a clump of fabric pulled through the left arm hole and neck.
