Recovered Roman bronzes debut at Madrid's National Archaeological Museum

Two rare Roman bronze sculptural groups, looted from an unidentified site in southern Spain between 2007 and 2008, are now on public display for the first time at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. The works, dated from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE, were sold abroad at auction in 2012 before being recovered through a long-running police investigation. The museum highlights their exceptional quality, unusual iconography, remarkable preservation, and intact original bases. The exhibition runs until October 25 in the museum's Roman Courtyard.
