Summary

Description
Italiano: Statua di Ermafrodito tipo Anasyromenos. Roma, Museo Torlonia, proveniente dalla collezione Giustiniani. Il modello iconografico in questione, appartiene alla tipologia di Ermafrodito Anasyromenos, ed è spesso associato alle raffigurazioni di Afrodite, Attis, Isis e Priapo. Ciò che contraddistingue la tipologia iconografica di tale personaggio è dato dall'atto di alzarsi il vestito con una o entrambi le mani, mostrando cosi i genitali come segno di riconoscimento della sua ambigua natura sessuale. Può inoltre essere raffigurato con un chitone con o senza maniche, spesso ha un drappo che gli copre le spalle o le braccia e talvolta anche la testa. Entrambi i seni sono spesso coperti, anche se esistono delle statue, come quelle rinvenute ad Alessandria e nel Italia Meridionale che mostrano invece seni scoperti. Occasionalmente tiene della frutta nelle pieghe del vestito oppure è accompagnato da un piccolo puttino.
Español: Estatua de un hermafrodito, tipo anasyrma, en el museo Torlonia de Roma, proveniente de la colección Giustiniani (Justiniano).
