O statuetă a Venerei aflată la Apulum

  • Subiect: The author talks about a white-grey marble statue of Venus found at Apulum. It belongs to the old collections of the National Museum from Alba Iulia and it is preserved in a fragmentary state. The legs are covered with a palla kept by the left hand. It preserves the torso until the navel. The breasts and the head are lacking. We can frame this artefact in the type of half-naked Venus. The prototypes of this copy are Venus of Cnidos made by Praxiteles or Venus of Melos. The dimensions are: height-20,7 cm, breadth-8,5 cm, thickness-7 cm. Probably, this artefact is the single marble copy of this iconography type in the Roman province Dacia. There are a lot of bronze and clay analogies in this province. For example, the bronze statues were discovered at the Roman camps from Drobeta and Buciumi, and the clay statues, at Apulum, Ulpia Traiana, Moldoveneşti and Slăveni. In the Central or Occidental provinces, marble statues of this iconographic type were made at Aquincum, Carnuntum and Bassianae, in Pannonia, in the Roman settlements of Gallia or in the south province Moesia Inferior, at the Greek harbour Histria. We date this piece from the late Antonin period or the first decades of the third century A.D.
