Fragmentary marble head of a helmeted soldier. Roman. ca. 69–79 CE x
The Romans devised two new forms of public monument to celebrate their military victories—the triumphal arch and the column. The latter are only found in Rome itself (and later in Constantinople, the New Rome), but triumphal arches were built in many cities throughout Italy and the provinces. They were often decorated with reliefs depicting Roman troops in various activities. This fragment may come from one such relief.

House of the wounded bear, Pompeii.
Photo: Silvia Vacca
The name of the house is due to the mosaic on the entrance floor that depicts a bear wounded by a spear.
