Légende

Cast of fleuron from capital of middle standing column, late 18th century-early 19th century. The Temple of Mars Ultor (the Avenger) was dedicated by Augustus in 2 BCE as the centre piece of his new Forum in Rome. Three columns of the outer pteron of the south side of the Temple still remain standing. This cast reproduces the fleuron on the southwest side of the middle of the three standing columns. The cast was from the collection of Thomas Lawrence which was sold on 10 May 1830.
