Le Cavalier romain, Limestone sculpture at Pont d'Iéna, France
The Roman Horseman stands on one of the four pylons of Pont d'Iéna bridge, representing a warrior figure carved in precise detail.
Louis-Joseph Daumas created this limestone sculpture in 1853 during the extensive decorative additions to Pont d'Iéna under Napoleon III's reign.
The sculpture forms part of a group of four warriors, including Greek, Arab, and Gallic representations, illustrating different military traditions.
Located near the Eiffel Tower on the right bank of the Seine, visitors can view the sculpture while crossing the pedestrian-friendly bridge.
The Roman Horseman survived attempts to modify the bridge's decorations when political changes led to alterations of other ornamental elements.
