Bronze togatus, San Casciano dei Bagni
Bronze togatus, San Casciano dei Bagni

Bronze male statue of toga wearer, from the ancient sanctuary at Bagno Grande, San Casciano dei Bagni.

Deposited into the original Etruscan pool at the sanctuary in the 1st century BCE.

Between 2020 and 2022 part of an Etruscan and Roman sanctuary came to light at Bagno Grande. The ancient building encircled a sacred pool - over 4 meters deep - made of travertine blocks. An Etruscan earlier pool, underneath the Roman one, was restructured and enlarged at the time of Emperor Tiberius (1st century CE).

Votive offerings were deposited into the water until the late 4th century CE. The earliest statue offerings date to the 3rd century BCE and continued throughout the 2nd and the ist century CE. They were deposited all together at the beginning of the 1st century CE into the earliest pool, at over three meters in depth, underneath a compact layer of terracotta tiles.

Due to the fact that he’s wearing an early type of toga, he’s Roman, deposited during the final years of the Republic, or the start of the Empire.
