The majestic Aphrodite pose, originating from an authentic Greek model created by Doidalsas of Bithynia around the mid-3rd century BC, can be admired in this modified version featuring a small Eros alongside her, with remnants of his foot and hand still visible, while a swan supports their elegant stance. In ancient Rome, this theme was considered an ideal choice for adorning private residences and public bath facilities, as evident from the locations where reproductions have been discovered. The mid-2nd century AD saw widespread adoption of this iconic motif.
