Statues which may have come from the Theatre, also included in the Part above.

Many of the statue said to be from this theatre may in fact have come from the Basilica Noniana, the Augusteum or vice-versa.

According to Kraus,

“Just which statues adorned the Basilica is difficult to say, since in so many cases the findings were simply lumped together with those from the Theatre”.

“Likewise, unknown is the precise disposition of the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Nonius Balbus, the most respected and influential citizen of Herculaneum, and the full length figures of his family”.
