Bust of unidentified figure from the Four Seasons.
The house of Dionysus. Late 2nd century CE.
Paphos, Archaeological Park.
Description:
The bust in the centre is problematic as it has neither attribute nor any specific, recognisable feature. It is probably Dionysos or Aion or the personification of some concept such as the genius of the Year, all of which are representations that are found associated with the Four Seasons in ancient art.
