Owning luxurious objects inside the homes was functional to give a valuable welcome to one’s guests and, at the same time, served to affirm one’s rank and social status. This white marble trapezophorum (pedestal), found in the domestic rooms adjacent to the Forum, served as a central support for a floor or a table. On one of the sides the bust of a woman is carved in relief, with a sumptuous and intricate hairdo that is attributable to oriental artistic taste. On the opposite side, a bovine head is framed by an infula, the accessory woolen bands wrapped around the horns and falling down the sides of the animal’s muzzle that marked the consecration to the gods. The particular decoration and grandeur of the object confirm that the table support must have been part of the rich furnishings of a Roman aristocratic domus that was located in the urban insulae.
