Using a statuary group found under the Via Cavour in Rome as its starting point, this article investigates some of the formal and conceptual principles that directed sculptural display in the private realm during the Roman Imperial period. The Cavour discovery raises the subject of the sculptural pendant, for it includes two versions of the same statuary type set side by side. Like similarly conceived pairs from villas at Herculaneum, Sperlonga, and Tivoli, the Cavour statues present different stylistic interpretations of the same sculptural model. The deliberate pairing of two formally distinct versions, when uniformity or even identicality could easily have been achieved, suggests that Roman patrons and designers esteemed such "mismatched" pendants and endowed them with a special meaning
