marmarinos:Ancient Roman joint statue of Ennius and Vergil, likely dated to between the 1st and 2nd centuries CE. The double portrait is meant to show the passage of knowledge from Ennius, sometimes called the “father of Latin poetry,” to Vergil, author of the Aeneid, who was born a century after Ennius died. Currently located in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. Photo taken by Emma-Jane Browne. -- source link
