Hercules in the National Museum of Archaeology

The marble Hercules in the National Museum of Archaeology in Naples is copy of a Greek bronze. The statue was excavated in Rome but originally found without lower legs. His original legs were later found and restored to the sculpture – the less muscular calves that was used in the mean time are now on display against the wall behind Hercules.
