The third century AD was a time of great cultural and artistic diversity. From religious figures to sports enthusiasts, this era showcased a wide range of fascinating individuals. One notable figure from this period is St Anthony the Great, who became the patron saint of basket makers. A chromolitho representation captures his spiritual essence and devotion. In the realm of sports, we find depictions such as the Seated Ballplayer, crafted between the 1st century BC and 3rd century CE. This ceramic artwork showcases the athleticism and skill of ancient games. Another captivating sculpture is that of the Seated Bodhisattva Shakyamuni, carved from dark grey schist around the 3rd century AD. This piece represents Buddhist ideals and serves as a reminder of their influence during this time. Moving on to more political representations, we encounter drawings from "Misteri del Vaticano" by Franco Mistrali showcasing three popes: Pope Sixtus II (258), Pope Fabien (236-250), and Pope Caius (293-296). These artworks provide glimpses into early Christian history and its connection with Rome. Artifacts like cosmetic palettes also give us insight into daily life during this era. The A. D. 2nd-3rd-century schist palette reveals beauty practices prevalent at that time. Portraits play an essential role in capturing individuality, as seen in works like "Portrait of a man, " often referred to as Gallienus. Crafted in marble during the 3rd century AD, it immortalizes an unknown man's features for eternity. Busts were another popular form of portraiture during this period. The Busts of Severus Alexander (230-235 AD) and Septimius Severus (late 2nd/early 3rd century AD) showcase two Roman emperors' power and authority through their lifelike marble renditions.
