Marble statue of Greek Roman god Asklepios (Asclepius) from Ephesus
Museum: Ephesus Museum, Turkey
Date: ca. 2nd century
Period: Hellenistic - Roman Imperial
Asclepius (Asklepios, Latin Aesculapius) is the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek
mythology. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts, while his daughters Hygieia,
Meditrina, Iaso, Aceso, Aglæa/Ægle and Panacea (literally, "all-healing") symbolize the forces of
cleanliness, medicine, and healing, respectively.
This sculpture is identical reproduction of the original ancient masterpiece, now housed by the
prominent museum. The statue is composed from mold made from the original, thus guaranteeing the
highest accuracy of identical reproduction. The reproduction pictured here is made of cast marble, and
is extremely heavy and strong, having a real ancient feel. An ancient patina finishing gives it an
additional historical value (you can choose not to have patina applied and keep it all white if you like).
The statue can be displayed both inside and out, it is weatherproofed.
Item No. S024
Dimensions: height 80 cm (31.5")
$1,990.00
