Phoebe pacifying Leto and Niobe while two Niobids play knucklebones, fresco of Herculaneum, 1st century AD. National Archaeological Museum, Naples

Summary edit

Description
Italiano: Le Giocatrici di astragali, da Ercolano, dipinto su marmo, opera firmata da Alessandro di Atene (ALEXANDROS ATHENAIOS EGRAPhEN - Alessandro ateniese dipinse - nell'angolo in alto a sinistra), oggi nel Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples) (inv. 9562). I nomi scritti in greco accanto alle diverse figure permettono di identificare con sicurezza la scena: si tratta di Febe che cerca di pacificare Latona e Niobe, mentre a terra due delle niobidi, Hilearia e Agle, continuano a giocare con gli astragali, inconsapevoli della loro imminente morte.
Français : Joueuses d'osselets, Ercolano, Peinture sur marbre, Inv. 9562 Musée archéologique national de Naples.
