The Altar of Domitius Ahenobarbus (more properly called the Statuary group base of Domitius Ahenobarbus) is a series of four sculpted marble plaques that probably decorated a base supporting cult statues in the cella of a Temple of Neptune located in Rome on the Field of Mars.
The frieze is dated to the end of the second century BC,[n 1] which makes it the second oldest Roman bas-relief currently known.[n 2] However, there is also a contemporaneous relief depicting a Roman naval bireme with armed marines,[1] from a temple of Palestrina built c. 120 BC.[2]
The sculpted panels are still visible today, with one portion on display at the Louvre (Ma 975[m 1]) and another at the Glyptothek in Munich (Inv. 239). A copy of this second piece can be seen at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
