Gorgeous Roman Bronze Applique - Young Hercules

Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd century CE. A remarkable cast bronze applique of the legendary hero Hercules (Heracles), here shown from the chest up, made to serve as an applique, probably on a piece of furniture belonging to a member of Rome's elite. The iron patina on its undecorated reverse gives an idea of how it would have been attached to an iron tang. Hercules is depicted here at his most adventurous, recalling Hellenistic portrayals of Alexander as Hercules. He has a smooth, youthful face with a head of curly hair; this is mostly obscured by the enormous head of the Nemean lion that he wears as a helmet. The animal's paws are tightly tied around his neck, complete with fierce claws, forming the rest of his cloak. Size: 4.2" W x 5.45" H (10.7 cm x 13.8 cm); 11" H (27.9 cm) on included custom stand.

The story of Hercules was a popular one in ancient Rome (with much of it derived, as so many elements of Roman culture were, from Greece - entering Roman culture by way of Etruria). Both Mark Antony and the Emperor Commodus considered him to be a personal patron god. The story of Hercules and the Nemean Lion was retold over and over again, in plays and artistic depictions like painting on vases. As part of his labors, Hercules was sent by King Eurystheus to bring him the skin of a lion that was terrorizing the town of Nemea. Upon discovering that weapons would not work on the beast, he tracked it to its lair and strangled it.
