The torso of a Roman general occupies a prominent place among the finds excavated in the burial monuments and sarcophagi of the eastern cemetery of ancient Opus.
It’s a poros funerary statue and it happens to be the only one in the Atalanti Archaeological Collection. Incredibly enough, it was discovered thanks to a tip from a local.
The museum, however, which mainly includes objects from local excavations (Locris, northeastern ancient Phocis), also has a few surprises in store, as you will find parts of Cycladic figurines and frying pans, which testify to the special relations of the area with insular Greece.
