Tell me more about this piece. When? Where?

This is a Roman Marble Table!

[Professor Watkins]

Tell me more about this piece. When? Where?

[MichaelAldrete1]

Neoclassical / Ancient Roman-Style Carrera Marble Neoclassical - refers to a movement in art, architecture, and other disciplines that was inspired by the ancient Greek and Roman classical style recreated Roman villa inspired by the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum near Pompeii, famously buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD

[Professor Watkins]

So this is the problem. If this is neoclassical - it isn't Roman. Neoclassicism emerged in the mid 1700's. A neoclassical bench is inspired by the Romans, but wasn't built by the Romans. You'll need to pick a different piece.

[MichaelAldrete1]

As It Turns out the Definition I got of that Piece turned out to be the wrong definition of an entirely different piece that only had one half of it a more accurate description of this piece would be A Roman Marble Table, Circa 1st and 2nd Century AD would this still be viable or should I search for others, There were multiple different kinds of table supports such as this one that were used in this era

[Professor Watkins]

What you're posting are 3D models - not photos of an actual artifact. If you can find real photos of the real thing, with some details on where it was found, etc...We can talk more. But right now, it's not a valid project.

[MichaelAldrete1]

So I wasn’t able to find that exact one but I was able to find really similar ones such as https://ancientrome.ru/art/artworken/img.htm?id=4534

[Professor Watkins]

Can you tell me something about this photo? What is the furniture where was it found, etc? I'm also unfamiliar with this particular piece.

[MichaelAldrete1]

According to a legend the owner of the cartibulum(the name of the piece) in Medieval Rome was the Pope Gregory I

[Professor Watkins]

So, if its medieval, it's really likely Pre-romanesque (not ancient Roman). If you'd like to propose it for project #3 (that includes Pre-Romanesque), that would work.

Approved for Project #3.
