The type of sculpture seems to be inspired by the type of the Barberini Hera, a Roman copy from the imperial age, today in the Chiaramonti Museum (Vatican Museums). The sculpture was discovered by the antiquarian Leonardo Agostini in the late 17th century, during excavations on the Viminal Hill. The site was located beneath the convent affiliated with the church of San Lorenzo in Panisperna, an area known to have hosted the ancient Baths of Olympiades. Its identification as the Barberini Hera was established by its early owner, Cardinal Francesco Barberini. -
