Funerary relief of Apelles from Herakleia ~ c. 110 BCE
Apelles holds a scroll(?) in his left hand and also rests his left foot on a cylinder, while resting his right hand on a herm with a youthful head.
Inscription reads: Ἀπελλῆ Θεμίσωνος / Ἡρακλεῖε χρηστὲ / χαῖρε (this is for ancient Greek fans, I can’t translate Greek!)
🏛 Kunsthistorisches Museum, inv. I 753
