Bronze statuette of Minerva. Roman, 1st-3rd centuries AD. Standing Minerva, draped and wearing helmet and aegis, her right hand would have originally held a shield, her left a spear. The pedestal and figure have very similar green patinas, but it is uncertain if they were found together (Minerva is glued to the base). Height: 11.1cm. Nice green patina. Crest of helmet broken off.
