Légende

Cast of corner volute from composite capital, 19th century. The original object is almost assuredly from Rome; the volute resembles capitals from the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Baths of Caracalla, and the imperial palace on the Palatine Hill. It is, in fact, likely to have come from either the Baths or the Palatine.
