Some divine ‪#‎Movember‬ inspiration! This Roman statue of Dionysos is heavily draped, and his hair is bound with an ivy wreath. His beard is long, recalling archaic and early classical images of the god. Dionysos was often represented in this way in Roman times (he was associated with the Roman god Bacchus), and many versions of the figure exist. The god was particularly popular because of his association with wine and good living. His entourage of satyrs and maenads provided inspiration for artists, and their often wild antics made superb subjects for decorative reliefs, wall paintings, vessels and sculpture. The statue is carved out of one large block of Pentelic marble, except for the missing right arm, which was made separately and attached. By British Museum, London, UK.
