The Farnese Hercules shows the hero resting after stealing the apples of the Hesperides which he holds behind his back. Made for the massive Baths of Caracalla, he is one of the few pieces in the gallery to be signed by the artist: the Greek letters on the base tell us that the Athenian sculptor Glykon made him — presumably when the baths were built at the start of the third century CE.
