Pair of appliques with divine representations; Rome, II-III centuries AD. Bronze. Measurements: 5 x 1,5 x 1 cm; 5 x 4 x 3 cm. Set formed by an applique representing the bust of the god Eros, while the other statuette represents a female figure, thus deducing that it is surely an ex-voto dedicated to fertility. On the back, you can see protrusions to attach them to a larger structure, architectural or otherwise. These types of pieces were very common in the Roman Empire, but also in other cultures that, directly or indirectly, had contact with them.
