Description
Atlas is a mythical figure who bears the world on his shoulders. This fragment possibly comes from a monument erected soon after Macedonia became a Roman province in 148 B.C.
Along with a second figure, or incorporated in a series of such figures, it may have decorated the facade of a building, in accordance with the well-known architectural motif of Atlas.
