I.16.2 Pompeii. July 1964. Bronze statue of Bacchus in VIII.1.4, Pompeii Antiquarium. Height 0.96m, width 0.37m. SAP inventory number 11864. Photo courtesy of Rick Bauer. The statue of Bacchus has, by various authors, been attributed to I.18.2, I.17.2, I.16.2 and I.15.2. 2009: For the Day in Pompeii Melbourne exhibition, SANP said the statuette was found in I.16.2. 1990: In Rediscovering Pompeii, IBM catalogue the statuette was attributed to I.18.2. 1993: Liselotte Eschebach attributed it to I.15.2. 1961: Olga Elia attributed it to I.17.2. According to Stefani and Borgongino (2010), it was definitely found in I.XVIII.2 now I.16.2. Using the photographs and papers from the time of the find but newly found “nel riordinare la documentazione dell’ Archivio Fotografico della Soprintendenza….” to identify the locations and cross-referencing them with the inventories and excavation documentation, they concluded that they were found in I.XVIII (now I.16) but that this had been entered in the inventory books as I.XVII through a mistake in interpreting the roman numerals. There had also been some confusion over doorways and room numbers. On page 93 the statue of Bacchus is mentioned as “statua rinvenuta certamente in I.XVIII.2” ….. “attuale I.16.2” See Rivista di Studi Pompeiani XXI, 2010, pp. 87-99 but specifically p. 93, by Grete Stefani and Michele Borgongino.

I.16.2, Pompeii. Detail of bronze statue of a young Bacchus. See Elia, O., 1961. Bacco Fanciullo e Dioniso Chtonio a Pompei: Bollettino d’Arte 1961, Fasc. I-II, (p.2, fig.2). Kuivalainen comments – This is another young Bacchus looking absentmindedly elsewhere, and not fully occupied with the activity he is engaged in. He is pouring wine for a panther, and is perhaps intoxicated himself, as indicated by the position of his legs and the left hand, which once held a thyrsus tightly. The hairstyle may be inspired by Isiac counterparts. (489). (Note 489 reads – Elia 1961, 2 – 3, suggested that the statue was a product of the eastern provinces). See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, (H15, p.220).
