The fragment of an inscription, which was discovered in 1641, was originally on a triumphal arch built in honour of the emperor Claudius's successful invasion of Britain.
The restored inscription reads:
"The Senate and People of Rome [dedicated this] to Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus...because he received into surrender eleven kings of the Britons conquered without loss and he first brought the barbarian peoples across the Ocean under the authority of the Roman people."

Statue of “Capitoline Gaul”, based on a Pergamene original. It depicts a wounded Gaul (Galatian). The Ludovisi family probably found the statue on the premises of their villa. The Villa Ludovisi was situated on the ancient horti of Caesar, which through inheritance then passed into the possession of the historian Sallustius.

Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. There is no mention of the equestrian statue dedicated to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in ancient literary sources, but it was in all likelihood erected in 176 AD. There were many equestrian statues in Rome at that time but this, however, is the only one to have survived to the present. .

Bust of Commodus as Hercules from the Esquiline Hill, Horti Lamiani. The bust is one of the most famous masterpieces of Roman portraiture and depicts the emperor in the guise of Hercules, whose attributes he has been given: the lion's skin over his head, the club in this right hand, and the golden apples in his left hand as a reminder of the Greek hero's feats. The group was recovered in an underground room of the Horti Lamiani complex, where it had probably been hidden.

Capitoline She-wolf, formerly at the Lateran (Sixtus IV donation). The She-wolf is the symbol of the city. Initially, it stood in the fifteenth century facade of the palace, then, it was transferred inside the palace, on the occasion of Michelangelo's architectural interventions. At that time, the twins were added - they transformed the ancient Lateran symbol of justice into "Mater Romanorum".
The creation of the work, which probably had nothing to do with the legend of Rome's foundation, can be traced back to Etruscan or Magna Graecia workshops of the fifth century BC. Recently, based on the casting process analysis, it was suggested that it dates back to the Middle Ages.

Heracles - This gilded bronze statue was found in 1864 in the area of Pompey's Theatre. It was lying horizontally in a trench and covered by a slab of travertine on which the letters F C S (Fulgur Conditum Summanium) had been cut. The statue had, therefore, been struck by lightning and, following the Roman custom, had been granted a ritual burial together with the remains of a lamb. It shows a young Heracles leaning on his club, with the lion skin over his arm, and the apples of the Hesperides in his left hand. The work has been variously dated to between the end of the 1st and the beginning of the 3rd century AD.
