A herm with a bearded face.
A pillar, or herm, with a bearded face, himation over the shoulder and a propitiatory phallus. The phallus was a symbol of fertility, and often depicted as ithyphallic, that is, with an erect penis. Herms take their name from Hermes, the messenger god, who was also the protector of travellers, communities and houses, entrances and exits, as well as flocks. Herms were typically set up along thoroughfares and boundaries, at gates, and also at tombs. The region of Arkadia was rich in herds of sheep and goats. In Greek mythology, Hermes was the god of numerous groups of people and aspects of daily life, including shepherds and cowherds, literature and poets, and athletics. Found during the construction of Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum. Roman C. 200-210 AD.
