At the beginning of the twentieth century, on the occasion of the construction of a house in the upper part of Venafro (IS), in the locality of Terme di S. Aniello, an archaeological discovery of great importance was made: an environment inside which a group was stacked of sculptures and architectural decorations. The entire complex of materials found is attributable to the Venafro theater. Among them, two large virile statues attract attention. Similar in layout and made in heroic nudity, they feature a draped cloak that encircles the hips and covers one shoulder. Dated between the age of Caligula and that of Claudius (37-54 AD), they were initially identified with Augustus and Tiberius, while more recent studies prefer to recognize two anonymous characters from Venafran. After the discovery, they were taken to the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, where they remained until the opening of the Archaeological Museum of Venafro, to which they were returned in the early nineties.
