More pics from Rome

Just a quick thumbnailing of my pics from Rome, in the unlikely event you're interested. These are from the Palazzo Altemps, one of the top two museums in Rome in my opinion (the other is the Capitol). Here are representations of people, divinites and such:

The Goddess Minerva (Greek: Athena)


A prince and an (Olympian?) boxer.


From memory (I really need to start taking notes), these notables are: Julia, daughter of Augustus; general Germanicus (I think); emperor Augustus himself (x2); emperor Nerva; emperor Vespasian (x3), emperor Hadrian and emperor Antonius Pius (x2).


The famous discus thrower:


I can't remember if the scantily clad woman is a representation of an actual person. The menacing looking guy with the spear (x2) is the God Dionysus. Judging from this statue he wasn't all about women and booze. The last one is the great hero Hercules. Who knew he had a comb over and an extra chromosome?
