Lucius Ansius Diodorus
Lucius Ansius Diodorus was an ancient Roman Toreut (metal sculptor) from Campania . The comparatively large number of 19 signed works by Diodorus has survived. These are casseroles and bath bowls made of bronze . They are widespread and were found in Italy, Switzerland, France, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Russia, which speaks for well-developed and well-functioning long-distance trade structures.
