Satala Aphrodite
The Satala Aphrodite〔(British Museum Collection )〕 is the name given to the larger than life-size head of an ancient Hellenistic statue discovered at the site of the legionary fortress of Satala, located in the village of Sadak, Gümüşhane Province, Turkey. Acquired by the British Museum in 1873, it is on display in the museum as an example of a Hellenistic sculpture from around 100 BC in the former area of Armenia Minor.〔〔(British Museum Highlights )〕 The webpage of the British Museum and most Armenian scholars state it is the statue of goddess Anahit, the Armenian equivalent of Aphrodite.〔
==Discovery==
In 1872, a man digging his field near the village of Sadak, in what was once the ancient Roman fortress of Satala, uncovered several bronze statue fragments including a head and a hand. The head was acquired in Constantinople by a Greek antiquities dealer called Savas Kougioumtsoglou who passed it to another dealer, Photiades, who took it to Rome where it was sold to the art dealer Alessandro Castellani, who in turn sold it to the British Museum in 1873. The hand was donated to the museum three years later. Unfortunately, the rest of the statue was never found.〔
