P34B<\/strong>
\nACROLITO<\/strong>
\nThis is a copy of the colossal head found in 1839 in the central area of the city, in proximity of the cathedral.
\nIt is empty on the back and larger than the real. It constituted part of a religious statue \u2013 called acrolito – and
\nit was composed by different materials: the head and the hands in marble; a wooden body, clay or render.
\nThe statue was entirely painted and dressed.
\nThe head belonged to feminine deity statue (independent or sat down) inserted in a temple. The marble is
\nGreek and it goes back to the end of the II century BC.
\nThe original one is preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Turin, bought and paid 1000\u00a3 by king Carlo
\nAlberto in 1840.<\/p>\n

Inscriptions on marble slab
\nAlba, Risorgimento square (Duomo, 1839)
\nI-II centuries AC
\nThe big and well-carved letters preserved refer to a monumental inscription.<\/p>\n

Tracing of a funeral stele
\nCortemilia, bed of the river Uzzone (1985)
\nI century AC
\nQuintus Valerius\u2019stele who financed this monument when he was still alive. The shape and the
\ndisproportionate measures of the letters suggest an execution done by a local artisan on a semicarved
\nstele and bought without epigraph.<\/p>\n

Funeral sandstone stele
\nCortemilia, Ponte Moschetto hamlet
\nFirst half I century AC
\nStele of the citizen of Alba Lucius Naevius Montanus who financed his funeral monument when he
\nwas alive. The cognomen<\/em> Montanus indicates the fact that he lived out of the city. In the semicircular
\npart of the stele, the body of the deceased is represented, with the simplified and rough
\ntraits that are typical of the local arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
