Archaeology — Roman
Sculpture, statue
Stone statue of Mercury, head, arms, lower right leg and both feet are lacking. Mercury is nude apart from his paenula, draped over his shoulders and hanging down his back, as last. This is very similar to the Mercury figure discovred at Usher Road but the execution is more accomplished, displaying a greater understanding of youthful physiognomy
