Heracleion - Opis:
- On the site of ancient Heracleion, today under water of the Bay of Abukir, the team of the Institut Européen d’Archéologie Sous-Marine (IEASM) found in 2011 the upper part of a masculine statue in black granite, featuring both pharaonic (overall attitude, head-dress nemes) and Hellenistic (fringe of curls) schemes. Such images of the Egyptian sovereign do not appear before Ptolemaic times and this ‘mixed’ royal iconography was clearly addressed to the mixed Graeco-Egyptian population, that has increased in importance only under Ptolemy IV, and after the battle of Raphia in particular. The wide and fleshy face of the Heracleion sculpture is far from the juvenile long face and narrow chin of Ptolemy VI (see the heads in Athens and Alexandria) and suits at the best the image of corpulent Ptolemy VIII Physkon (‘pot-belly’) – as testified in particular by the head, attributed to this king from Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, and another granite sculpture from Copenhagen, Ny Carlsberg.
