Palazzo Clementino Caffarelli - Hall of Pediment
Hall of Pediment
The recreation of the terracotta pediment from Via di San Gregorio, presented in an exhibition in 2002, has been made part of the route through the museum.
In the high relief of the tympanum is portrayed in a scene showing a sacrifice in the presence of three divinities, Mars and two goddesses, celebrated by an offerer wearing a toga to whom three bare-chested servants lead six animals in two rows starting from the two extremities of the pediment.
There is still also part of the architectural framework of the sloping roof (pediment's sima), with at the centre a small relief showing the myth of Heracles and Hesione.
