Title: "Heracles the Divine Hero: A Roman Marble Head from Tusculum, Italy, Housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark" This exquisite marble head, depicting the legendary Greek hero Heracles (Roman equivalent: Hercules), is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient mythology. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this masterpiece was discovered in Tusculum, Italy, and now resides in the esteemed Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Heracles, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, was a demigod and one of the most renowned heroes in Greek mythology.

This magnificent head of Heracles is just one of the many treasures housed in this esteemed institution, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Greece and Rome.
