Description:
Found in the residence were the partial remains of a marble statuette of Mercury. While only 9cm have been preserved, it is believed that the statue likely stood at least 40cm high. The rear of the statue was rougher than the front which suggests that the statue was placed in a cult space/shrine where its rear would not be seen.
