Mercurius

The god Mercury stands tall - the Romans delighted in admiring toned male physiques. He typically wears a helmet adorned with wings, symbolizing his swift delivery of messages on behalf of the gods. Masterfully crafted, with silver eyes and nipples that shimmer, this statuette is a pricey treasure. It's likely that it was transported north by a high-ranking officer from Italy. This would align perfectly with Mercury's role as patron deity to travelers and merchants. In the Low Countries, he was revered as Arvernus.
