See the remarkable similarity of this BRONZE Ram with the MARBLE Ram (lower position) on the prow of the so-called Naval Victory or Naval Monument in Cyrene.
The bronze ram was found in the sea,near Tobruk,
in 1964.
Hello Maciejk,
There is a very interesting document about the reconstruction of the "Victoire de Samothrace" ,
another "Naval Monument" in the Louvre Museum :
For Maciejk : This is a thesis on the use of RAMS in antiquity.A little too long to print but OK to read .
See the last pages where the ram found in Libya is mentioned.Regards.
