Figure of an Atlas Supporting the Heavens

Esta escultura romana de Cartago (siglos II–III d. C.) muestra a un joven Atlas sosteniendo un peso sobre él. Probablemente formaba parte de una columna decorativa; el motivo procede de la mitología griega, donde Atlas sostiene el cielo, simbolizando la resistencia y el orden cósmico. Este tipo de imágenes adornaba los jardines de la élite, integrando el mito y la identidad imperial.
