Antinous as Silvanus (detail)

This fragment of a marble relief (130–138) shows the lower portion of Antinous depicted as Silvanus, the Roman god of woods and fields. His bare feet rest on a rustic groundline beside a carved pedestal inscribed in Greek with his name and titles, identifying him as Antinoos the Hero after his deification. The full relief shows Antinous harvesting grapes—a pastoral image tied to his posthumous cult. Even in this fragment, the idealized proportions and calm stance reflect the refined style associated with Hadrian’s beloved.
