This remarkable and apparently unique and unpublished bronze of Julia Domna from Nicaea depicts a key moment in the Roman foundation mythology - the Trojan hero Aeneas, progenitor of what would eventually become the Roman people, flees the burning city of Troy, saving his father and son in the process, though tragically his wife Kreousa was slain in the escape and appears as a shade to Aeneas, informing him it was her fate to remain in Troy.
