'Clean-cut' Hercules mosaic fragment

            Oddly 'clean-cut' Hercules (identified by the Nemean Lion's pelt tied around his shoulders - the paws in front) mosaic fragment. The tesserae are made from different types of limestone, and are quite rounded, perhaps indicating a large amount of foot traffic. 

Found in Rome in 1874, in the Esquilino district, near the church of Santa Bibiana.

2nd-3rd century CE.
