Marble statuette of Aphrodite in the Louvre/Naples type
From the sanctuary of Apollo Maleatas in Epidaurus. First half of 1st c. AD.
(EAM/NAΜ Γ1811)
A thin chiton clings to the body selectively highlighting the anatomical signs of her femininity. The apple that she holds implies her involvement in the Judgement of Paris. The original of the type was created around 420 BC.
