Verified profile

It came to light by chance in 1827 in the area of the grandiose baths built by the emperor Maximian Herculean at the end of the third century AD. in an area corresponding to the current Corso Europa-Largo Corsia dei Servi, the torso is what remains of a colossal marble statue depicting Heracles at rest, leaning on the club, after the conquest of the apples of the Hesperides. Dated to the end of the 2nd century, the statue certainly decorated the baths built in the 3rd century or, more likely, only enlarged by Maximian. The fig leaf is a nineteenth-century addition.
