Description
Hercules is identified in this herm by his characteristic attributes: the lionskin covering his head and shoulders, the club and the cornucopia full of fruit. The prototype for this sculpture seems to be a herm depicted on an Athenian coin of the Imperial period, showing a sanctuary in the city. It dates to between the late 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD.
