Ludovisi Acrolith

Ludovisi Acrolith

The Ludovisi Acrolith dates from 480-470 BC and was probably the head of a metal-plated sculpture of a goddess seated on a throne. She is generally identified as either Aphrodite or Persephone.

Visit the Palazzo Altemps in central Rome to see a small but fantastic collection of top sculptures from antiquity displayed in a historic palace of the National Roman Museum.
