Statue of Atlas

Atlas proudly bears the weight of the world on his broad shoulders, a legendary figure whose origins date back to ancient times. This iconic image possibly originated from a monument erected shortly after Macedonia became a Roman province in 148 B.C. Alongside another figure, or intricately woven into a series of such figures, it may have adorned the facade of a grand building, echoing the classic architectural motif that bears his name.
