The portrayal of Sirens in Roman art often emphasized their dangerous nature. The alluring and seductive qualities of the Sirens were symbolic of temptation and the perils of succumbing to one's desires. On the other hand, given the Sirens' association with luring sailors, these bronze figures might have been placed in maritime contexts, such as on ships or in coastal areas, as a warning against the dangers of the sea.
