Antiquités d'Herculanum, Tome V. Bronzes

A detailed illustrated catalogue of small bronze statuettes recovered from Herculaneum, offering plate-by-plate descriptions of deities and mythic figures, stylistic attributions (Etruscan versus archaic Greek), physical measurements, and notes on restorations. The commentary explains iconography—scepter and thunderbolt for Jupiter, pomegranate or apple for Junonine figures, owl and aegis for Minerva, and cornucopia and patere for Concordia—links attributes to ancient literary authorities, and highlights craftsmanship such as inlaid silver, elegant drapery folds, and winged helmets. Observations discuss religious and civic symbolism, parallels with coinage and gems, and cautious identification where attributes or provenance remain uncertain.
