Plin. nat. hist. 34. 77 mentions among the bronzes of Euphranor to be seen at Rome a statue of Bonus Eventus holding a patera in its right hand, a corn-ear and poppies in its left. Frohner Mhi. emp. rom. p. 35 f. fig. detected the type on a bronze medallion struck by Hadrian (Gnecchi Medagl. Rom. ii. 3 no. 3) and Furtwangler Fig- 954- Masterpieces of Gk.

Plin. nat. hist. 36. 23 in his list of marble works by Praxitelesat Rome includes the statues of Bonus Eventus and Bona Fortuna on the Klein Praxiteles Leipzig 1898 p. 156, greatly daring, would identify the PraxiteleanBonus Eventus with the bronze original of the Madrid Hypnos and its numerous congeners, the bronze statuette of a horn-bearing Hypnos at Vienna {id. ib. p. 140 fig. 21). Bethat as it may, the common assumption that Plinys Bonus Eventus and Bona Fortuna arethe Latinised forms of Agathbs Dainion and Agatha Tyche is probably correct. N
