Herm of Dionysos/ Bacchus in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Herm of Dionysos/ Bacchus in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009
Herm of Dionysos/ Bacchus
1st century BC

# MS 3475

A herm was a pillar used as a boundary or entrance marker, as in a stadium. In the Roman period herms could be mounted with portrait heads. In this case the herm represents an idealized Dionysos / Bacchus with a ribbon in his hair.

Text from the U. Penn Museum label.
