Antakya Archaeological Museum Aphrodite of Syracuse sept 2019 5842.jpg

Marble, 1th century BC. This is a fragment of a certain type of representation of Aphrodite. It refers to a Roman copy of a Greek statue, it belongs to the Venus pudica type, which derives from a statue of the famous sculptor Praxiteles, the Aphrodite of Cnidus. Another reference is the Aphrodite of Landolina (I suppose: another famous copy)
