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)
