A Triton from the second facade of the Roman Odeion, ca. A.D. 150-175, illustrates the continuity of scultpural practice in the Agora. The torso of the Triton was strongly influenced by one of the fugures in the east Pediment of the 5th-century B.C. Parthenon. The Triton was later reused in the 5th-century A.D. structure that occupied the site of the Odeion, probably a gymnasium.
At left, acanthus and lotus capital (A 1153) found at the northeast corner of the Odeion and at right, base with shields for a bronze statue (S 1212). Pentelic marble.
