Lot 275
2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze bust of Bacchus (Dionysos) with garland in the hair, ties draped to the shoulders, rectangular plaque beneath the chest; the eyes with silver inserts; mounted on a custom-made stand. The cult of Bacchus appears to have originated in Asia Minor, or possibly Thrace, and it absorbed several similar cults from that region. The cult spread rapidly throughout Greece and was introduced into Southern Italy by Greek settlers. By the time the Romans adopted the cult it had become quite complex and had developed into one of the Mystery Cults. Relatively few details are known about the beliefs and rites of Bacchus as various elements of the religion were only revealed to initiates and kept a closely guarded secret, but we do know that a belief in the afterlife and salvation as well as resurrection were central to the cult and Bacchic imagery appears on many sarcophagi. 544 grams, 19cm (7 1/2"). Property of a Surrey collector; acquired in the early 1970s. Fine condition; hole to shoulder.
Lot 283

Lot 438
1st century BC-1st century AD. A D-section glass plaque with high-relief image of a facing female with elaborate diadem and necklace, hatched detail to the robe. The shape of the crown on this bust would indicate that the figure represented is the goddess Cybele, the Great Mother Goddess from Pessinus, now in modern Turkey. The cult image of the goddess was a large conical stone, possibly a meteorite, that was eventually moved to Rome. Depictions of the goddess in human form show her as a matronly figure wearing a crown in the shape of city walls, reflecting her role as protector of cities, and flanked on either side by lions. Her cult was extremely important in the Roman Empire, attracting worshippers from all levels of society. 8.84 grams, 28mm (1"). Private collection, London, UK; formed 1970s-1980s. Fine condition.
