Summary[edit]

Mercury had other roles: he escorted dead souls into the kingdom of dead and conveyed to the people the messages of gods.

Now in the British Museum, inv. 1824.0460.12. Picture taken at the Oog in oog met de Romeinen (Eye to Eye with the Romans) Exhibition in the Gallo-Romeins Museum of Tongres.
