This iconic figure was once part of the decorative facade of the Theatre of Tarraco's frons scaena, where it commanded attention and awe from all who laid eyes on it. Dated back to the 1st century AD, this magnificent statue embodies the spirit of a bygone era, its every detail carefully crafted to convey strength and majesty.
