Provenance: Ex German private collection, acquired before 1980s In the Roman period, bronze statuettes of eagles held significant cultural and symbolic importance. The eagle was a powerful and revered symbol in Roman society, representing strength, courage, and military prowess. As the national emblem of Rome, the eagle was associated with the Roman legions and the divine authority of the Roman state. Consequently, bronze statuettes of eagles were commonly used as military standards, known as "aquilae," carried by Roman legions as symbols of honor and allegiance to the empire..
