Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is a bronze votive Eros statuette from the Roman Imperial Period, which are in the Nevşehir Museum. Bronze figurines belonging to the Roman Imperial Period are not the result of any archaeological excavation; there is no information about the building or structures in which the artefacts were acquired when the museum acquired them. Nevşehir is a vital settlement area within the Cappadocia Region, but there is no systematic archaeological excavation that limits our knowledge about the Roman Imperial Period of the region. A typological, stylistic and iconographic evaluation of Eros statues exhibited in the Nevşehir Museum has been made. As a result of these stylistic comparisons, the Eros statuette A.D 1.-2. It shows that it was built in a century.
