  • Resumen
    • Here we analyse two sculptures, currently displayed in the archaeological museum of Campi Flegrei and depicting Prometheus chained to a rock and the King of Lapiths tied to a wheel. The two figures started out, in all probability, from a larger mythological cycle dedicated to the great punishment and would have been positioned to decorate a public monument in the city, the identification of which remains a problem. One hypothesis has been formulated, however, that favours the area of the Corinthian Temple which was recently identified with the Temple of Antonius and Faustina. The two statues, that seem to have been constructed from a greco-oriental marble, show comparable styles with the sculptural material ascribed to the ‘school of Aphrodisia’. It is thus proposed that it derived from a workshop with training in Asia Minor, that operated in a colony of Puteoli around the middle of the 2nd century AD.
