Statuette of Heracles. Around 150 BCE. This beardless Heracles, crowning himself with leaves, resonates with numismatic finds of the Greco-Bactrian king, Demetrius (190-175 BCE) . The piece provides some evidence for continuity in the first half of the second century in Aï Khanoum due to the Gymnasium’s dedication to Heracles.
