Title: | Portrait head of Oecumenius, Salamis, Cyprus (E 487) | Start date: | 300 | End date: | 499 | Historical Period: | Early Byzantine/Late Antique Period | Description: | Overlife size portrait head of Oecumenius. Salamis (Cyprus). Cyprus Museum (E 487); “wreath-hairstyle”; the person depicted can be identified on physiognomical grounds with a certain Oecumenius, whose statue monument is found in Aphrodisias. Oecumenius was an imperial governor (praeses) of Caria and may have been awarded a statue on Cyprus because it was his native city or because he was a governor of Cyprus at the rank of consularis. If the latter were the case, the Cypriote monument would post-date the Aphrodisian one; late 4th to early fifth century. |
