Horse's head of Waldgirmes

The horse's head of Waldgirmes (German: Pferdekopf von Waldgirmes), is part of a gilded bronze Roman sculpture, presumably an equestrian statue of the Emperor Augustus. It was found in 2009 on a field close to the former Roman Forum of Lahnau-Waldgirmes (German: Römisches Forum Lahnau-Waldgirmes) in

the municipality of Lahnau in the German state of Hesse. The Waldgrimes forum was a fortified Roman trading place, and has the oldest known stone buildings in Magna Germania. Since August 19, 2018, the horse's head is on display in the Saalburgmuseum in Saalburg, Germany.
