The statue of Hermes crafted from Pentelic marble was unearthed at Aigion in the Peloponnese region. The god is portrayed standing upright, with a chlamys draped around his left arm. In his right hand, he grasps a purse, while in his left hand, he holds a caduceus. This work of art dates back to the Augustan period, specifically between 27 BC and AD 14, and is believed to be a funerary monument inspired by Lysippean originals from the 4th century BC.
