Title: Bronze statuette of a satyr with a torch and wineskin Medium; Technique: Bronze Culture: Greek Period: Hellenistic Date: 3rd–2nd century B.C. Dimensions: H. 9 15/16 in. (25.3 cm) Classification: Bronzes Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1941 Accession Number: 41.11.6 Description: Thiasoi were jubilant celebrations in honor of Dionysos that were attended by satyrs and maenads. From ancient literature, we learn that thiasoi occurred outdoors, and often at night. This fine bronze satyr can be identified as a participant in one such revel. An unusual aspect of his iconography is the inverted torch, a motif with great narrative potential, for the satyr may be extinguishing it or perhaps lighting it from a hearth. The full wineskin implies the latter and evokes the promise of a long, boisterous evening of drunken merriment. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/greek_...

(7.8 x 7 x 0.2 cm) Rogers Fund, 1923 (23.160.52) Most surviving Roman military diploma (see 23.160.32a,b) belonged to army veterans. These discharge papers, however, were issued by the emperor Trajan to sailors on a warship, a quadrireme, in the imperial fleet based in Misenum on the Bay of Naples.
