Statuette of Bonus Eventus

3D Model

In classical religion Bonus Eventus (which translates as ‘good outcome’) was a deity associated with agriculture and with a general concept of success. He does not have a significant role within myth, so he is not well known today despite the many images of him that survive.

This statuette would have been a votive offering at a shrine, possibly within a private home. It depicts Bonus Eventus as a young man. The artistic style shows that it was made on the continent in the late 1st to early 2nd century AD.
