Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The fragment of a hand (on the left) and an elbow (on the right) are all that remain of a colossal (roughly 70 feet tall) statue of Hercules dating from the Greek and Roman period in Philadelphia. These few bits suggest that the overall statue was among the largest marble stone sculptures ever created. Most likely, the rest of the status was burned in kilns in the Byzantine and later periods to make lime for concrete. sigh.
