Colossal bust of Zeus, known as "Jupiter of Versailles," discovered in 1525 near the Porta del Popolo in Rome. Transferred to Louis XIV in 1623 and transformed into a herm pillar by Jacques Drouilly upon his request. The sculpture is carved from marble, dating back to the 2nd century AD, but the artist responsible remains unknown.
