| "The many dissatisfactory attempts to devise the myths represented [on the Boston Throne] seems to confirm the doubtful authenticity of the sculpture." Paolo Viti, 1996. |

The action depicted on the Boston Throne cannot be as simply related to other works of Greek art as that on the Ludovisi Throne. There are a number of problems in interpreting the reliefs. The main areas of concern are: The depiction of Psychostasia The identity of the winged youth The identity of the two female figures
|
| These problems have led to many theories as to exactly what the throne represents. |
