Abstract
U iskopavanjima vile s peristilom u Medijani tokom kampanje 2011. godine otkrivena je na gornjoj površini prvobitnog ruševinskog sloja od tavanice i krova (sloj S), u zapadnoj prostoriji 1, mermerna glava koja bi po karakteristikama frizure pripadala nekoj boginji. Analiza je pokazala da najbliže analogije možemo naći kod predstava Artemide/Dijane i Afrodite/Venere. Uzori medijanskoj glavi sežu do helenističke umetnosti. Po njima su rađene replike u rimskoj umetnosti, koje su uglavnom iz 1-2. veka posle Hr. Stilske karakteristike obrade kose na glavi iz Medijane upućuju više na kasnu antiku i na nove koncepcije započete tokom Tetrarhije a nastavljene pod konstantinijanskom dinastijom. Zbog toga je za izradu ove glave predložen datum: kraj 3 - ±340. godina. Izneta je mogućnost da su novootkrivena glava i baza otkrivena 2002. godine, na kojoj se nalaze fragmentovana stopala i glava delfina, delovi iste statue. U tom slučaju, ova statua može da se identifikuje kao tip Kapitolske Venere, p...odtip Venera s delfinom ili Venera Pudika.

During the archaeological investigation of the villa with peristyle in Mediana in 2011, a marble head, which may have been the head of a goddess, was discovered. Her face and the treatment of her hair show that it may represent a replica of a Hellenistic original. As far as is known, analogies of female marble heads from Mediana show that it probably represented either the goddess Artemis/Diana or Aphrodite/Venus. A hypothesis was made that the head might have been modelled at the end of the 3rd century - 430 A.D. In addition, a hypothesis was made that the base found in 2002, on which was preserved a fragmented head and the tail of a dolphin, and the new found head were parts of the same statue. If this is the case, then the statue can be identified as the type of Capitol Venus, subtype Venus with dolphin.
