Abstract

Ans Braakenburg-van Breukelen
Greek Gods and a Roman Emperor
Sculpture in the Beirut Central District Archaeology Project

The reconstruction of the city centre of Beirut, destroyed after years of civil war, has given archaeologists the opportunity to carry out salvaging excavations.
This paper discusses the sculptures uncovered between 1995-1998. The statuettes of Aphrodite and Apollo, the heads of Dionysus and Hadrian were all found in disturbed trenches and/or secondary deposits. The Aphrodite, on exhibition in the National Museum of Beirut, dates from the 1st century BC. The Apollo and the heads of Dionysus and Hadrian were created in the 2nd century AD. The most likely context and function of the sculptures, in particular the head of Hadrian, in Hellenistic and Roman Beirut are mentioned in the summary.
