, one of the most mysterious archaeological finds in Italy ❗️
In 1934 it was discovered by chance by a farmer from Capestrano while he was working in his field. To date, little is known about this sculpture dating back to the 6th century BC. The more than two meters tall statue is adorned with war elements and has a headdress that is still the subject of mystery today. Recently an engraving on the statue has been deciphered which reads: "ME BEAUTIFUL IMAGE MADE ANINIS FOR KING NEVIO POMPULEDIO".
The warrior can be admired in the National Archaeological Museum of Abruzzo in Chieti.
