Tufa Lararium – 3D MODEL

This Roman Tufa Lararium model dates back to approximately the 1st-2nd century CE. It resembles a miniature temple, featuring pilasters, ascending steps, an eagle in the pediment, and distinct fruits behind each palmette acroterion. Typically found in affluent Roman residences or gardens, such structures served as a focal point for religious devotion. From the reign of Augustus onward, it became customary for every Roman household to maintain a lararium, dedicated to the lar familiaris, the household deity responsible for safeguarding the family members’ well-being, health, and prosperity, along with other gods revered by the family.
