Roman statue of Urania from Churriana (nowadays part of Málaga, Spain), sculpted in marble between the end of the 2nd and the 1st century BC. It is at the National Archaeological Museum of Spain, in Madrid.

                                        Urania was the muse of Astronomy and Astrology

At her feet there is a celestial sphere, symbol that represents her. The sculpture was made in the city of Rome and decorated the peristyle or the garden of a villa near Malaca (present-day Málaga).
