The Colossal Statue of Antinous: The head and the statue are ancient but were combined as recently as the 18th century. The portrait depicts the Roman Emperor Hadrian's lover, Antinous, depicted with a snake and cornucopia. The attributes allow the statue to be interpreted as Agathos Daimon (Agathodaemon; protective spirit). Marble. Around 130-140 CE. Acquired in Rome, Italy, in 1766 CE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
