Hellenistic Marble Head of Zeus
Zeus’ imposing presence was felt throughout Ancient Greece as evidenced by the many sculptures and paintings of his image that make up the region’s archaeological record. This white marble sculpture of Zeus dates from Greece’s Hellenistic period of approximately 300-200 B.C.E., a time when Greek sculpture had entered a Classical period defined by its rigid poses and severe features. This figure’s lush hair, parted lips, and strong brow show the emphasis placed on such stylized details during Greece’s Classical period.
This sculpture is a highly realistic representation of Zeus, and it may be that the sculptor based this image on someone he knew from his everyday life. This sculpture is a breathtaking example of the technical skill and detailed eye of Greece’s celebrated sculptors. The piece has been restored to reveal the sculpture’s original power, although the body has been lost to history’s vagaries.

Pamphylia Tetradrachm with Athena and Nike
Obverse (Front): The coin features a realistic portrait of Athena facing right. She is depicted wearing a Corinthian helmet, which is adorned with a decorative crest. The engraving captures fine details such as expressive eyes and intricate helmet ornaments, styled in the classical Greek artistic tradition.
Reverse (Back): The reverse displays Nike, the winged goddess of victory, in motion, flying left. She is shown with outstretched right arm holding a wreath, symbolizing victory, while her left arm is slightly bent. Nike’s flowing drapery and detailed wings convey a sense of movement and divine aura. Behind her, the inscription ΔΕΙ-ΝΟ (Deino) appears, indicating the magistrate responsible for minting the coin. To the right of Nike, in the field, is a pomegranate, a symbol associated with Side, representing fertility or prosperity. The background field is clear, ensuring that Nike, the wreath, the inscription, and the pomegranate stand out distinctly.
