Judging by its similarity with other roof tiles of this type, the antefix can dated to the 6<sup>th<\/sup> century BC, in a transitional period between the Ionian and Attic styles. In this period in Italy, antefixes with female heads are normally linked with the worship of female deities associated with the family and can be interpreted as members of the deity\u2019s retinue if not the deity herself. This piece is on display at the Palatine Museum and is part of the museum\u2019s accessibility route: next to the original is a 3D reproduction available for all visitors to explore.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11000,"template":"","collezioni":[85],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opere\/10728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opere"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opere"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opere\/10728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11015,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opere\/10728\/revisions\/11015"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"collezioni","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colosseo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collezioni?post=10728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
