1. Marble statues of Pan, signed by M. Cossutius Cerdo 45-25 BC.<br />-34290029527500I choose to look at the marble statues of pan, which were singed by M. Cossutius Cerdo. <br />It was made around 45 to 25 BC. (Before Christ.) the statues was made from a Villa in Monte Cagnolo, near Rome in Italy. <br />This statue is very revealing, which tells me that the person of who the statue is must be proud of his body. In my opinion I think it is a roman private statue which could be made just for them and to be away from the public. <br />The statue could be offensive to some people as it reveals a lot of the body which some people might not be happy to look at. <br />The statue is made out of proconnesian marble from the Aegean. Also with pan. <br />Pan is identified not only with countryside, but with sexuality and fertility. <br />The statue is holding a cup of what could be wine which tells me that he is emphasizing his links with Bacchus, god of wine. <br />On the tree stump the name of the artist (M. Cossutius Cerdo.) This is there so the artist of the statue (piece of art work) to show/tell you who made the statue. <br />The purpose of making the piece is to give to the owner for their own pleasure as their private statue. <br />
