From the 1930’s Collection of Robert W. Hubel of Michigan, purchased from John G. Watson, April 1929.

Diana Nemorensis, the triform goddess representing the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and the nether world, has her origins in the Etruscan pantheon. Her temple was situated on the northern shore of Lake Nemi, where, as early as the 6th century BC, the Nemoralia, a three-day festival devoted to her, took place on the ides of August every year. These celebrations eventually transformed into the festivities at the Temple of Diana on the Aventine Hill in Rome.
