guy Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) A statue head of Hygieia was found in Denizli, Southwestern Turkey. The statue probably dates from the first century BCE. ”The worship of Hygieia was closely associated with the cult of Asclepius. While Asclepius was more directly associated with healing, Hygieia was associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health.” (Wikipedia) https://arkeonews.net/the-statue-head-of-hygieia-the-greek-goddess-of-health-found-stuck-between-two-rocks-in-laodikeia/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygieia The fragment of statue was found in the province of Denizli in Turkey, an area rich in Roman excavation (see posts below) Edited May 23 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
