The Gilt Bronzes from Cartoceto di Pergola are the only surviving Roman gilt bronze equestrian group. The monumental ensemble was composed of at least two Romans on horseback, of which only one remains, atop their horses, and two women standing. The statues may represent that family of Germanicus and date to the early 1st century but more likely date from 50–30 BC and depict Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and his father Lucius, although other figures of local importance have also been suggested. The statues were found not far from the intersection of the Via Flaminia and the Via Salaria Gallica in central Italy, in an isolated location, far from urban centres.
