After the Antique, Psyche of Capua, a Grand Tour, marble. The original sculpture dating from the first century B.C. and now housed in the National Museum, Naples, was found badly damaged in the amphitheatre at Capua. The sculpture although commonly known as Psyche of Capua more likely depicts Aphrodite.
