    The work of art here is a sculpture that is supposed to represent Poseidon.

        An interesting sculpture indeed. Since it was set up here by the river, one could rather guess Neptune, the Roman god of flowing waters, leaping springs or even the weather. The fact that the Via Claudia Augusta (built at the beginning of the 1st century AD) leads here also suggests this conclusion. Neptune and Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, only became known at the beginning of the 3rd century. generally equated. The posture of this sculpture is also unusual: in ancient times both were depicted standing upright. Perhaps the artist wanted to express with the recumbent representation that Neptune or Poseidon should go to rest and have no more power and should keep their hands off the bridge🧐🧜‍♂️🖐😴.
