Abstract
Given the contrasting views that historiographers and modern
and contemporary researchers hold regarding the identification
of the statue in the dress of Isis from Nin (Aenona), this paper will
analyse the archival sources and museum documentation on
the site, circumstances of the find, and history of the statue; it
will define the area where the statue was found and determine
whether there is a “topographic” link with the Julio-Claudian
group of imperial statues; in this regard, the results of petrographic,
mineral and chemical analyses of the female stone statue,
which have recently been completed, will also be discussed,
and, along with iconographic, formal and stylistic analyses, our
own views will be presented on whether the statue is of Isis or
her devotee, when and where the statue might have originated,
and how its occurrence fits into the context of the Municipium
Aenona in the Principate.
