Need Information about this Sculpture - Pointer - 06-18-2014
Does anyone have any information about this sculpture? The Name... Where it is located... When it was constructed... What Era is it depicting? Any and all information would be helpful to me or where I can find more information about it.
Thank you in advance!

How interesting - thanks Emilio. Not Roman but sixteenth century then.
This page has some more information:
Roman Monographs - Fountains
Including this, about the relief in question:
"... the theme of the right panel is still debated. The original documents describe it either as Joshua leading the Jews across the river Jordan, or as Gideon choosing his soldiers by the way they drink; although in most publications the first of the two interpretations is mentioned, the soldiers and the drinking figures in the panel make the other theme appear more likely."
