The essay presents five unpublished works (three heads and two fragments of torsos) preserved in the Magazzino Sculture of the Capitoline Museums, which formal quality and style allow them to be recognized as Greek originals of the classical age. For some we wanted to propose the original relevance to frontonal or acroterial statues, likely arrived in Rome as spoils of war and reused in the embellishment of the city and in the ambitious building programs of the senatorial aristocracy: a small further confirmation of what is widely reported in ancient sources and highlighted by other more relevant examples.
