Summary

[edit]
Description

Showing one of the provinces personified, thought to be the Phrygia or Bithinia.

To a significant degree, the Farnese family's ownership of ancient sculpture was the result of a series of excavation projects in Rome, funded over time by the members of the family. These excavations resulted, fortuitously, in the discovery of marble sculptures from important monuments of Imperial Rome.

At a date that is not known for sure (but pre-dating the death of Paul III in 1549), a group of reliefs was discovered. Their presence in the Farnese collection is already attested by about 1550. Other survivors of the same group, found at different times, came into other important collections in Rome.

The subjects depicted were personfications of provinces of the Roman empire, and trophies. These once formed part of the decorative programme of the complex known as the Hadrianeum, the temple dedicated in the Campus Martius to the deified Hadrian by Antoninus Pius (Ad 145). This building, which 16th Century antiquarians indentified as the Basilica Antonini, was still partially visible at that time, integrated into the building housing the Customs service.
