A CARVED MARBLE PORTRAIT HEAD OF A YOUTH, PROBABLY POLIDEUCE ROMAN, POSSIBLY CIRCA 170-177 AD Now set on brass stem and metal base the head 28cm high, 21cm wide, 39cm high overall Provenance: Mallett, 1980s Polideuce (sometimes spelled Pollùce, Polydeukes and Polydeukion) was the pupil of the wealthy politician and philosopher Herodes Atticus (101-177 AD). It is usually understood that the two had a love affair and, when Polydeuce died in 173-174, Herodes began a process of very public grieving, erecting statues and monuments to his pupil and declaring him to be "eroe" (a hero) in mimicry of Hadrian's similar treatment for his beloved Antinous. The veneration of deceased private citizens as "Heroes" was not uncommon at this time, but the scale of Herodes very public display of grief earned him derision and mockery within his own lifetime. In truth, he had commissioned similarly large-scale public displays of devotion when his adopted son Memnon and his wife Regilla had passed away. For similar please see: The bust-portrait held in the Regional Archaeological Museum of Palermo (N.I 1520). Catalogued as "Ritratto di Polydeukion, giovinetto favorito di Erode Attico".
