"Castaldi in Armor with Other Figures" is a 16th-century bronze medal created by Annibale Fontana. The medal depicts a scene with three figures: a figure in armor standing in the middle, and two others flanking him on either side. The inscription surrounding the figures is partially visible and includes the words "Castaldi" and "Regnava." This artwork is a prime example of Renaissance-era medallic art, characterized by intricate detail and the use of classical themes and imagery. These medals were often commissioned as commemorative pieces to honor important individuals or events.
