The MARQ will be present in the exceptional anthological exhibition with which on National Archaeological Museum (MAN) will celebrate its 150th anniversary. "The Power of the Past will present the essentials of history and archaeology and will bring together in Madrid 150 pieces from more than sixty institutions and museums from all over the country.
The Roman Hand of Lucentum will be part of this exhibition, which will be open to the public next year. 7 October and can be visited until 1 April 2018. It is a unique and iconic piece from the MARQ that corresponds to the left hand and part of the forearm of a monumental Roman bronze sculpturefound during the 2005 excavation campaign at the head of the forum of the ancient Roman city from Lucentum.
This unique work presents elements hitherto undocumented in the classical Greco-Roman world. One of them is the knob of the handle of the ceremonial sword or parazoniumconsisting of two eagle heads facing away from each other. Moreover, this is the first time that a hand gripping the swordIn other bronze sculptures, the two elements have been preserved separately. In addition, the ring engraved with the lituus -the staff of the augur priest - suggests that it is a sculpture related to the emperor (perhaps Augusto) or some member of the imperial family dressed in military uniform. This theory was reinforced after the metallographic analysis which revealed a work of high technical qualityprobably carried out in workshops in Italy. In all probability it was destined either to preside over a temple in the forum of Lucentum or to stand on a pedestal in its square.
Since its discovery, the Hand of Lucentum is on the Rome Room of the Museo Arqueologico de Alicante and has visited such outstanding museums as the Museo Arqueologico de Alicante. Hermitage in St Petersburg (Russia) and the Drents Museum in Assen (Netherlands), among others. It has been studied by Manuel OlcinaThe monograph was published by MARQ's technical director in a detailed monograph and has been presented to the scientific community in congresses specialised Spain and Germany.
