The statue of the god of the Nile is an ancient Roman marble statue dating from the 2-3rd centuries AD. The statue depicts the god of the Nile resting on a sphinx, holding a cornucopia. The statue was probably erected by Alexandrian merchants in the then Roman port city. The statue was discovered in 1476, headless, and nicknamed "Corpo di Napoli". The statue was put on a pedestal in 1657 and a bearded head was carved on it in the same century. In recent decades, the statue was again decapitated by robbers and later found. Our statue is an alternative version of the original in the Vatican Museums.
Statue of Laocoon and his sons, also known as the Laocoon Group. The Trojan priest Apollo and his sons are fighting two flesh-eating snakes sent as divine punishment. The priest warned the Trojans not to accept the horses sent by the Greeks, angering Poseidon (some say Athena), who supported the Greeks.
