Relief of Healing Gods at The British Museum, London

With the plague ravaging Athens during the Peloponnesian War, the cult of Asklepios quickly gained popularity. In 420/19 BC, an Athenian citizen named Telemachos founded a sanctuary for Asklepios and Hygieia on the Akropolis' slopes. The cult was likely introduced from Epidauros as part of Athens' expansionist policy. This marble relief fragment comes from a sculpted pillar erected by Telemachos to commemorate the cult's foundation. It depicts Hygieia, goddess of health, seated on one side and a large door (perhaps the entrance to Asklepios' temple) alongside a nude youth standing on a pedestal on the other.
