Image: 2009.05.0086: A Triton from the second facade of the Roman Odeion, ca. A.D. 150-175, illustrates the continuity of scultpural practice in the Agora. The torso of the Triton was strongly influenced by one of the fugures in the east Pediment of the 5th-century B.C. Parthenon. The Triton was later reused in the 5th-century A.D. structure that occupied the site of the Odeion, probably a gymnasium. | Archive Number: | | 2009.05.0086 | | Title: | | A Triton from the second facade of the Roman Odeion, ca.
