Bas-relief Domizio Enobarbo Altar

The bas-relief is freely inspired by the Domizio Enobarbo altar, preserved in Munich, Glyptothek, but sculpted in Rome in 100 – 70 b.C. Two of the Nereides are here represented while riding sea beasts and heading a procession of Amphitrite and Poseidon themselves. The Nereides are daughters of the god Nereus and of the nymph Doris and maids of the sea gods.
