Statue of a young satyr wearing a mask of Silenus, Roman, 1st century AD
from The Art Institute of Chicago
Guilded silver rhyton, Parthian (Iran), 50BC-50AD
from The J. Paul Getty Museum
Polycleitos (Argos, 5th c BC)
_
Diadumenos (diadem-bearer) / Youth Tying a Headband. The Athens example, copy of bronze original ca. 420 BC. Marble: 1.95 m H. National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Winner of an athletic contest, lifting his arms to knot the diadem. The figure stands in contrapposto. “The thorax and pelvis of the Diadumenos tilt in opposite directions, setting up rhythmic contrasts in the torso that create an impression of organic vitality. The position of the feet poised between standing and walking give a sense of potential movement. This rigorously calculated pose, found in almost all works attributed to Polykleitos, became a standard formula used in Greco-Roman and, later, western European art.“
Doryphoros (spear-bearer). Rendered somewhat above life-size: 2.12 m (6 feet 11 inches), the lost bronze original of the work would have been cast circa 440 BC, but it is today known only from later (mainly Roman period) marble copies.

What a privilege to see the wild boar mosaic up close. The blood spot in the eye, the redness in the mouth and the blueish tesserae making up the diffused shadows. Quite the welcome in the entrance hall of the recently conserved House of the Boar, Pompeii — Dr. Sophie Hay
The ”Divine triad” is part of a religious relief sculpture. It depicts the Aramaic god Baalshamin surrounded by Aglibol, acolyte of the storm god who became the lunar god, and Malakbel, "messenger of Bel”, the sun god. Each of the three deities is dressed in a lamellar strip cuirass typical of Palmyra. With their left hands, they grasp the hilts of their swords decorated with precious stones. Their right hands, sculpted separately and sealed with lead, are missing. It is not known whether they were making a blessing sign or holding a spear. Baalshamin wears a calathos, indicating his status as a celestial deity, and has billowing hair and a pointed beard that recall Persian and Parthian royal effigies.
Baiae, underwater archaeological park
Baiae was a favourite destination for aristocrats and the powerful of the ancient Rome.
Between the 7th and 8th centuries, tectonic movements caused much of the coast between Pozzuoli and Cumae, including Baiae, to sink. Baiae was discovered by a diver in the 1960s and is now an important reference point for underwater archaeology. Remains of monuments have been found, such as a room from the imperial palace from the 1st century, a sculptural group depicting the Cyclops Polyphemus and a statue of Antonia the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius.
