Marble, 2nd century BC
The palm branch as the sign of victory, the folded band in the right gand and the herm depicting Herakles from the waist up in a lion-skin, are all signs that the deceased was a successful athlete. Herakles was the patron deity of the palaestra. Herms depicting him as a thoughtful hero in old age typically adorned Greek gymnasia.
