EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite marble bust, depicting the Roman god of love, Eros, is a captivating artifact from the ancient world. Dated to the 2nd century AD, this masterpiece was discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus in Selcuk, Turkey. The Roman period saw the fusion of Greek and Roman mythologies, and Eros, who was known as the Greek god of love, was adopted by the Romans as their god of desire and amorous passion. The intricately carved marble bust showcases the youthful and enchanting face of Eros. His serene expression and delicate features convey a sense of tranquility and grace. The god is often depicted as a winged figure, symbolizing his ability to fly between lovers and spread the wings of desire. However, this bust, with its elegant simplicity, emphasizes the more contemplative and introspective aspects of the god. The Museum of Ephesus, where this bust is housed, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient city. The museum is home to numerous artifacts and sculptures that tell the story of Ephesus, a city that was once a thriving center of commerce, culture, and religion during the Roman era. The intricate details of the bust, preserved over centuries, offer a glimpse into the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the Roman period. The bust is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire wonder and awe in us.
