Fragment of an acephalous ram

Headless sculpture depicting a colossal ram found in Catania on the site of a spa building in the area of today's Piazza Dante.

It was part of a statuary group, possibly depicting a sacrifical scene. Libertini noticed on the back of the ram paws on a sea animal. He thought that the sculpture was part of a group of real and fantastic animals.
