Description
The Statue of Hercules is a Grade II listed structure, featuring a copy of the Farnese Hercules. This over-life-sized figure, depicted in a relaxed pose, is made of lead and leans against a tree stump, draped with a lion skin. His club is also resting on the stump. The statue is mounted on a base that bears the inscription SIGNUM HERCULIS DEFATIGATI IN AEDIBUS FARNESIIS ROMAE GLYCONIS ATHENIENSIS MANU ELABORATUM. In 1983, the statue was placed on a new stone die, which features the inscription HEROS MULTIVAGUS. / LIQUIDUM TRANS AET / HERA.VECTUS.AMPH / ITRYONIADES.EN RE/ NOVATUS ADEST. MC / MLXXXVII on its east face.
