Kayseri Hercules Sarcophagus

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The sarcophagus was found by coincidence in 1991, near the Seyyid Burhanettin Türbesi (in the Archeological Museum’s neighbourhood), during digging operations in preparation of a new ‘Kültür Sitesi’ (Cultural Center).

It is from the so-called ‘Pamphylia’-type (= the Antalya region) and dated to the 2nd or early 3th century AD. Dimensions: 215 x 101 cm, height: 133 cm.

On the picture: (from left to right) the 2nd, 4th and 3th labour: Herkules slays the Lernaean Hydra (a serpent-like water monster) – he captures the giant Erymanthian Boar – he captures the sacred Golden Hind of Artemis.
