- Tanım
The original base of the statue is lost. Its inscription, a dedication by the satrap Droaphernes, was copied in Roman times together with other texts. The inscription is published with commentary by L. Robert. I believe with C.H. Greenewalt, Jr. (Seventeenth Campaign AASOR, infra) that the Roman marble block may have come from a platform or statue base inscribed with copies of texts of the Persian period relating to Persian gods, and possibly carrying a group of statues, either originals or copies of statues referred to in the text(s). Reconstructions of this type may have been made necessary by the earthquake of A.D. 17 (see Cat. 275 Figs. 467-468, restoration of an image of Hera).
- Condition
Local marble.
L-shaped block damaged and reused in a late Roman structure.
