'In the Umbro-Sabellian area the production of small bronze statues developed around the beginning of the 5th c. BC.' 'Divinities are often reproduced, among which the portrayal of Minerva on the attack, wearing a high-crested Attic helmet and a cuirass with a gorgoneion in the middle of the breast, an outstandingly valuable specimen from the 2nd-half of the 5th c. BC, attributed to a master working in northern Umbria.' [Txt ©ETRU]

ETRUSCAN ANTEFIXES | Villa Giulia Museum: Modern reconstruction of Etruscan temple roofs in life size with reproduced antefixes.

👉 Pics 1 and 4 - Temple of Apollo [ETRU reconstruction] originally built around 510 BC in Etruscan city of Veii [Portonaccio archaeological site], north of Rome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portonaccio

👉 Pic 2 - Temple of Alatri, "a model with the real dimensions of an Etruscan-Italic temple.. constructed between 1889 and 1890, on the basis of ruins found in Alatri in the immediately preceding years. The building repeats the decorative designs of the architectural terracottas of the original temple that dates between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. This reconstruction is one of the oldest experiments of open-air musealization of an archaeological complex." [txt ©ETRU] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alatri

👉 Pic 3 - Reconstruction of a temple roof with original antefixes. From Falerii Novi [probably from the Sanctuary of Mercury], 6 BC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falerii
