with Eros ?, perhaps originally in Bithynia (bronze ?), rococo with baroque
composition Pliny the Elder, Natural History 36.35 The same Polykles and Dionysios, the sons of Timarchides, made the Zeus in the adjoining temple (of Jupiter Stator, within the portico of Octavia, the Campus Martius, Rome), where are also an Aphrodite bathing by Doidalsas, and a standing Aphrodite by Polycharmus. [Latin of last part is: fecerunt...Venerem lavantem se sedaedalsas stantem Polycharmus.] |
