Bust of Hermes

Reproduced from a Private Roman Collection.

This portrait bust represents Hermes, the Greek messenger god who watched over commerce as well as communication. He is characterized by the wings on his head.

Where the Greeks saw him as a messenger from Zeus, the Romans, who called him Mercury, also envisaged him as an "interpreter" between the gods and mortals.
