Monumental statue of Jupiter enthroned dated 1 century BC. Made of marble. It was discovered in the 1500`s on the grounds of the imperial estate at Trivoli, close to Rome. He once held a thunderbolt on his lap and a long scepter by his side. By the 1570`s, the statue served as the decorative centerpiece of the Fountain of the Dragon at the Villa d`Este in Trivoli. In 1781 the work was sold to James Hugh Smith Barry and became part of his sculpture collection at Marbury Hall in England.
