97. Silenus The semi-naked figure of Silenus rests on both legs which are placed close together. His feet rest on a round, accented base. The head of the old man is bald and his wide frowning face, marked physiognomy such as eyes, a characteristic flat nose and angry lips covered by a moustache, and a thick goatee beard which reaches from his emphasized chest to an almost fat and bloated stomach marked by a navel. The whole figure leaves a grotesque impression. The lower part of the body is enveloped in a cloak which is tied into a knot below the stomach. The ends of the cloak hang creased and reach his knees. Engraved onto the upper part of his foot are sandal straps. In his left reposing arm Silenus holds the rim of the cloak. The right hand is raised to the side and bent at the elbow. On his outstretched palm Silenus holds a rhiton with the wider opening resting on Silenus' palm. The rear side is treated only superficially. - 2nd century A.D. - H with base to top of rhiton: 8,2 cm; H without base: 7,1 cm; bronze -Sisak (Siscia) - ZAM, Inv. no. 4636. BRUNSMID 1913/1914, 227, no. 47, fig. 47; REINACH 1924, 59, fig. 5; TADIN 1979,26, no. 51, T. XXV, 50. A.R-M. 98. Statuette of a satyr Bronze statuette of a satyr. The slim figure of the young satyr stepping forward on tiptoes, with light, dancing steps, his head bent on one side, radiates an elastic tension and throbbing vitality. His right arm might have been raised, in his left hand opened sidewards he might have grasped an attribute. The brusque, cheerful expression, the pointed ears, the tousled hair and the small tail points to his half-animal origin. - 2nd century - H: 19,7 cm. - Óbuda (Aquincum), Hajógyári sziget, Palace of the governor -MNM, Inv. no. 85.1865.2. L.K. 99. Bronze statuette of Amor The naked Amor is represented running. The body and face have a childlike roundedness. The wavy hair reaches to the neck andencircles the face. The right arm is extended to the front and broken at the elbow, the left was extended behind and is missing to the upper arm. There are two wings at the level of the shoulders on the back, the one on the right is somewhat damaged. The right leg is missing below the ankle. -1st century A.D. - H: 8,4 cm. - Emona, insula XXIX, Ljubljana. - MML, Ace. no. R2480. Anticka bronca 1969, 97, fig. 118. I.L. 100. Amor and Psyche Part of a votive statuette. Marble torso of yellowish hue. Concluding from the somewhat arched carving of the rear side they might have been accessory figures of a Venus statue. Only the part over the ankles and under the breast remained. The naked body of Psyche is adorned with a girdle-like veil falling down. Amor is naked and steps forward with his right foot. - Late 2nd century - H: 10,4 cm; W: 9 cm. - Szombathely (Savaria), found before the front of the Iseum of Savaria in a 4th century debris layer. - SM, Inv. Nr. 56.2.267. Unpublished. T.Sz. 101. Victoria Victoria is dressed in a Doric chiton full of folds and an apoptigma reaching her thighs which has been lifted by the wind. Her hands are raised; her right touching her hair. Her hair is made into tresses and tied into a bun at the back. There is also a topknot (krobilos). On her back and rising above her head are rib-like wings which have been finely treated to accentuate the feather structure. Under the drapery one discerns that the right leg is extended whilst the left is thrown back and in the air. Missing are the thumb of the left hand and the toes on both feet, as well as the sphere on which the goddess' left leg probably rested. - Beginning of 2nd century A.D. - H with wings: 11,3 cm; H without wings: 8,5 cm; bronze - Sisak (Siscia) - ZAM, Inv. no. 4644.
