Summary edit

Description

Left: Herm portrait of the kosmetes heliodoros Provenance: Athens, «Diogeneion» Marble: Pentelic. AD 115/116 EAM 384 According to the inscription on the stele the kosmetes Heliodoros, son of Heliodoros, from Piraeus is depicted. The accentuated features of his advanced age (baldness, wrinkles, flaccid cheeks, bags around the nose and mouth, double chin) refer to the realism of the Flavian era. The broad forehead and the square chin are characteristic of portraits of the Emperor Vespasian. The swollen ears indicate his athletic past as a pankratiast or a wrestler.

Centre: Portrait head of a «kosmetes» Provenance: Athens, «Diogeneion» Late Trajanic period EAM 410 The portrait depicts an old man. The accentuated facial features indicate his age (baldness, sagging upper eyelids, sunken cheeks due to the absence of teeth, clenched mouth, non-existent lips). The few tufts of hair on the sides of the head slightly in relief. The realistic rendering refers to portraits of the Flavian and Trajanic period.

Right: Herm portrait of the kosmetes onasos Provenance: Athens, «Diogeneion» Marble: Pentelic. AD 129-138 EAM 387

According to the inscription on the stele the kosmetes Onasos, son of Trophimos, from Pallene is depicted. He is shown bearded. The oblong shape of the head, the hair arranged in tousled loose locks, the luxuriant beard and, mainly, the “tense” expression of the face evoke portraits of intellectuals of the 4th and 3rd century BC (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Epicurus, Metrodoros).
