Edit

The Statue of the Nile God (Statua del dio Nilo) is an Ancient Roman, likely Hellenistic, marble statue dating from the 2nd to 3rd century AD.



Nile God

It is located at Piazzetta Nilo, at the start of via Nilo, in the quarter of the same name, and it is this statue that gives all their name. The church of Santa Maria Assunta dei Pignatellifaces the statue, and the Palazzo Panormitais on the north flank. Two blocks east, along Via Benedetto Croce (part of the DecumanoInferiore commonly called Via Spaccanapoli) rises the church of San Domenico.
