TM Gallery info The Warrior of Capestrano (TM 170166) is 2.09 m high statue, once painted, of a warrior with an impressive hat, found accidentally in 1934 when working in a vineyard in Capestrano in central Italy. The right pillar supporting the statue has an Italic inscription in South Picene script which possibly may be translated as 'Ananis made me for king Nevios Pompoledios'. It has even been proposed that this could be Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome after Romulus.The discovery of the statue spurred a series of excavations, continuing until today, revealing a necropolis used from the 7th until the 5th century BC. Amongst the further finds were remains of a (pendant?) female statue, and a third one, male. It has been suggested that the three statues formed a family group.
