First Century Roman Hercules


This 1st C. Roman bronze of Hercules as a young man is one of the 
more subdued versions of the hero.  It was found near Tivoli.

    The gardens and fountains of Tivoli near Rome must be seen. The fountains are all controlled without pumps by gravitational forces, a true engineering feat for its time.
    The short film Eaux d’artifice by the strange Kenneth Anger presents them beautifully.
