NUOVE SCULTURE DA ANTINOUPOLIS

Abstract

In this study new sculptures from Antinoupolis are presented, coming from excavation investigations
or found in the urban area. The group is a particularly heterogeneous and includes a fragment
attributable to Antinoo, fragments of labra and sculptures different in terms of quality and
nature. Although it is a limited number, the sculptures presented offer important indications from
various points of view. In fact, they confirm the remarkable cultural level of Antinoupolis and
document the diffusion of imported marbles in Middle Egypt in the imperial age.

Keywords: Antinoupolis; sculptures; urban area; imperial age.
