: Herm with Charioteer; The bust of the charioteer made of Cararra marble is fixed on a herm of Bardiglio marble. The highly individualized portrait shows an older man with a long nose, deep-set eyes, sharp cheek bones emphasized by concave cheeks and thin lips. The treatment of the hairstyle, brushed forward into a neat fringe is reminiscent of the hairstyle of the emperor Trajan on certain portrait types and coins. He wears a tunic over which is just visible the heavy, wide leather fascia that covered the body from waist to chest, identifying the man as a charioteer., The seven herms in the collection were discovered arranged in front of the small grotto-like sacellum (shrine) of Hercules, which dated by inscription mid 1st-early 2nd century. Each bust is set on marble pillar (herm). The men represented are all charioteers as is evident from their clothing. Each bust is highly individualized and beautifully executed, indicating that these were rather expensive commissions. The charioteers dedicated their herms to Hercules, patron of athletes, as thanks for their victories., Intini, V. “Le erme di aurighi dal sacellum Herculis." In C. Gaspari, R.
