Description
Seated on a throne, a female deity is flanked by a Triton. The work is inspired by a Hellenistic model, the Tyche of Antioch, a personnification of the city, by Eutychides (290 BC). The Roman reworking of this theme incorporates a marine deity, the small Triton. The work has been variously interpreted as Thetis, the mother of Achilles or as Amphitrite, wife of Neptune.
