The statue of Poseidon, the Roman sea god was found at the site ........... in Maharashtra.
Answer: A
The statue was found at Brahmapuri.
Excavations at Brahmapuri, the ancient settlement at Kolhapur, revealed a hoard of bronzes including a small bronze statue of Poseidon of Mediterranean workmanship, evidence of trade with the Roman world in the Satavahana period. Poseidon is the Greek name of the sea god (the Romans called him Neptune), but the statuette is usually described as Roman in origin.
Bhokardan, Junnar and Adam are other early historic sites of Maharashtra known for trade goods and Satavahana remains, but the Poseidon bronze comes from Brahmapuri.
