The National Museum of Carthage holds art and artifacts from ancient Carthage and nearby communities. On the second floor are several pieces of sculpture including Silenus and Maenad, Silenus Supported by Four Satyrs (reconstructed from numerous fragments but still missing two of the satyrs), the Head of Gaius Caesar (grandson, adopted son, and presumptive heir to Augustus Caesar; he died in Lycea at age 24 after being wounded in Armenia), and the Colossal Head of a Princess Antoine.
