Abstract

The subject of this paper is the fragment of the marble statue of a nude young man from Pula, published so far only as a short entry without illustrations. The standard model used for the statue is analyzed and the identity of the mortal or deity represented is examined. Statues of gods and mortals developed from the same standard model are analyzed in order to narrow the list down to the most probable ones. The fragment of the Pula statue resembles most to some statues of Liber/Dionysus or the young Pan. Due to its fragmentary state, positive identification of the depicted character is not possible.
