Abstract

A Roman-era torso (inv. No. C-237) is held in the Archaeological
Museum in Split; it has been classified as portraying as Icarus,
the son of Daedalus. This work re-examines this attribution, and
based on two still visible iconographic features, proposes a new
attribution of the torso as a figure from the Dionysiac circle.1
