Damophilus was probably from Magna Graecia and worked in Rome.
Along with his colleague Gorgasus, he was responsible for the decoration of the Temple of Ceres, which was consecrated in 493 BC and located between the Circus Maximus and the Aventine.
During the work, the oldest Etruscan decorative reliefs were removed, framed, and recycled.
They created acroteria made of terracotta and painted murals.
