This is just a quick drop for future ref. I was browsing this book looking for a reference to a gem I’m using my current article project. The image reminded me so much of a paper I heard on the Etruscan for runners to the Caput Oli myth as the AIA/SCS a month ago! Can’t remember who presented it but it will come to me.
Update 26 June 2024:
I realize I wasn’t clear enough in my above post. While the iconography is evocative of it the scene seems to be Perseus/Minerva/Head of Medusa. Compare this mirror from the BM.
Also I just really like this modern imaging by Duilio Cambellotti 1979.

One thought on “Sorta, kinda, like Caput Oli”
