Marble, Roman, after an original from 270 - 250 BC
The head of Dionysus is one of several ancient copies, of which the "Head from the South Slope" of the Athenian Acropolis counts as the most excellent. The statuary type belonging to it could not be established until now. The model may have been a famous Early Hellenistic statue in the Athenian sanctuary of Dionysus.
