Sculpture of Apollos originating from the sacred area of the city of Falerii in the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome, Italy. The remains of the temple of the so called Scasato dedicated to Apollos date from the late fourth to the third century B.C. and document the influence of the Etruscan on the populations like the Faliscan due to the geographic proximity in the northern Lazio, on the Etruscan side of the Tiber River. Created in 1899, the Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia houses works from pre-Roman Italian antiquity, especially from the Etruscan world. Among the museum’s most valuable objects are a sarcophagus from the year 520 BC, as well as several terracotta figures such as the Apollo of Veii and the image of Hercules and Apollo vying for the deer, both from 510 BC. The museum also presents a great collection of precious objects from antiquity to the 19th century.
