Herakles Carryng the Golden Apples
(Roman Empire )
Heracles wears the lion-skin cloak he earned through his first labor and holds the golden apples of the Hesperides, the goal of his final labor, cupped in his left hand. His uplifted gaze and thick, curled hair are influenced by images of Alexander the Great.
