The motif of> the Eros riding a dolphin is a very popular motif from> the hellenistic period until the Roman era, and it can> be related to the cult of Venus. Unfortunately in the> Roman Dacia, these kind of carvings are very rare,> this can be considered also a unique piece. I didn`t> find any analogy for it until now. If anyone could> help me with analogies of bone from the Roman period I> would very appreciate. > Many thanks!> Lorant> > > ____________________________________________________________________________________> Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!
