Romersk antikk Bronse cista fot i form av Silenus, 4 cm - EX-BONHAMS - Figur
This cist foot is in the form of Silenus. In Greek mythology, Silenus was the foster father, tutor and loyal companion of Dionysus, the god of wine, while being described as the oldest, wisest and drunkest of his followers (aunt). He was a satyr, and a minor god of drunkenness; Silenus is known for his excesses with alcohol, for his love of wine was his passion, so he was often drunk and had to be supported by other satyrs or carried by donkey; it was said that when drunk Silenus possessed special wisdom and the gift of prophecy.
