English: Bronze statuette of Cybele on a cart drawn by lions
Roman, 2nd half of 2nd century A.D. The cult of the Anatolian mother goddess Cybele was introduced into Rome during the Second Punic War in the late third century B.C. and remained popular until early Christian times. The goddess is shown with her usual attributes, a patera (libation bowl) in her right hand and a large tympanum (drum) in her left. But instead of flanking her throne as they normally do, here the two oversized lions pull a chariot. This elaborate group comes from a fountain, in which spouts projected from the open mouths of the lions. |
