Summary
| Description |
This masterpiece depicts Tutela, a popular goddess in the provinces of Gaul Lyonnaise and Gaul Narbonne, in the south-east of present-day France. Her crown presents the shape of a rampart. Tutela was invoked to protect the cities and bring prosperity. The goddess stands near an altar, a peg in her hand straight, and a double cornucopia crowned with heads of the twin gods Diana and Apollo in the left hand. On Tutela's wings appear, at the bottom, the heads of the brothers twins Castor and Pollux, sons of Jupiter. The seven gods who are situated on the top represent planets and days of the week. From left to right: Saturn, Sol, Luna, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Dated to 150-220 AD. From Mâcon, Matisco in Roman times. Now in the British Museum, inv. 1824.0424.1. Picture taken at the Oog in oog met de Romeinen (Eye to Eye with the Romans) Exhibition in the Gallo-Romeins Museum of Tongres. |
