编号 84860901
Sculpture of a fluvial divinity, river Sagarius
CULTURE: Roman Empire
EPOCA: 1st - 3rd century AD
MATERIAL: Marble
DIMENSIONS: 43 cm long and 38 cm high
PROVENANCE:
- Private collection, Mainz-Kastel, Germany. 1970.
CONSERVATION: Good state of preservation. It has lost the face and part of the lower corners. No restorations.
DESCRIPTION:
Sculpture carved in marble in round bulk representing a reclining mature man, of powerful anatomy, dressed in a cloak covering his legs and left shoulder, holding in his right hand a cornucopia. The man turns toward the viewer, facing the viewer. His legs are bent, the right leg raised and the left leg resting on the ground. Remains of long hair are preserved on both sides of the neck, and from the shape of the break in the head it can be deduced that this was a bearded man. The base on which it rests has an incised inscription.
It is the personification of the river Sagarius (or Sakarya), an important river in Turkey that flows through the central-eastern part of Asia Minor and empties into the Black Sea. It is the third longest river in the country and flows through the historical region of Phrygia. Already in the Greek arts the rivers were represented as male deities, generally men of mature age and strong muscular body. Hesiod stated that the river-gods were sons of the titans Oceanus and Thetis, primordial aquatic deities, and brothers of the nymphs. They were worshipped for their fertility-enhancing character, and some of them were considered founders of mythical lineages. In Rome they were usually represented as seen in the piece under study: men with long hair and beard, powerful musculature and reclining or seated position, dressed with a cloak covering only their legs and holding a branch or a cornucopia.
