The monumental Hercules at Rest (Ercole in Riposo), also known simply as the Farnese Hercules (Ercole Farnese), is a nude marble sculpture from antiquity standing 3.17 m (10.5 ft) tall. It was produced around AD216 in Rome and survived damaged but fairly complete — the plaster left forearm is the only notable exception.
