Plinth of the theatre scene

Plinth of the theatre scene

Large marble plinth, placed next to the main entrance of the theater scene, on which there had to be a column of considerable size. On the main side there's a "panoply" (trophy) represented between two winged kneeling Victories, on the left side barbarian prisoners, on the right side female figures. This iconographic motif celebrated the victory of the Romans against the Barbarians, and emphasized how Catania was perfectly integrated into the life of the Empire.
