The information on collectors responsible for the museum collections is dominated by those who have donated the largest number of or the most spectacular works of art. The collection of ancient art in the National Museum in Krakow (MNK) is mostly known for the museum pieces from the Princes Czartoryski Museum, which had been established by Prince Władysław Czartoryski in 1876, three years before the National Museum in Krakow was opened. It overshadows the collections of the National Museum in Krakow, which were created accidentally thanks to numerous people who, for personal reasons, often wished to donate or sell sometimes just one or several ancient items to this institution. The article aims at commemorating several people and discussing modest gifts, ones that were the basis for creating the collection of the MNK ancient art after having been collected for several dozen years. These museum pieces, although they are not the most representative ones of a given culture, are a significant testament to the development of craft that completes Władysław Czartoryski’s collection and the permanent exhibition in the MNK’s Arsenal.

Livy and Polybius note that after the conquest of New Carthage, Scipio Africanus the Elder freed Spanish hostages, among whom was Allucius’ fiancée of extraordinary beauty. Not only did Scipio not accept her as a gift, but he summoned her parents and fiancé from her country, returned her to them for free and gave away as a wedding gift the gold intended for her redemption. The motif of the “continence of Scipio”, which was a political strategy aimed at gaining allies and ensuring their friendship with the Romans, was widely reflected in literature, opera and, above all, painting, starting from the sixteenth century. In the article we present works created in the Venetian artistic environment that have not been analyzed before.
