Commentary


Poids léger; Sur cet exemplaire, le pénis turgescent du satyre est bien visible le long de la jambe et la main n’est plus représentée de profil, mais de face avec les doigts visibles. Très joli style. Le satyre est barbu. Les traits de la nymphe sont différenciés.
Lightweight; In this example, the satyr's turgid penis is clearly visible along the leg and the hand is no longer shown in profile, but from the front with the fingers visible. Very nice style. The satyr is bearded. The nymph's features are differentiated

Historical background


THRACE - THRACIAN ISLANDS - THASOS

(463-411 BC)

Thasos, located on the island of the same name, concealed important metal mines which aroused the covetousness of its neighbours. During the Persian Wars (490-480 AC.), it was occupied by the Persians which could explain the use of the Babylonian standard. In 463 BC, conquered by Cimon, it fell under the control of Athens and followed its destiny. The city only regained its independence in 411 BC..
