Zeus

photo

This 7 ft. 3 in. (2.22 m.) high marble statue of Zeus, from the second century A.D., was found near the north Monumental Nymphaeum at Perge. Here he is depicted as a mature man wearing a himation (a thick long cloak) and has sandals on his feet. An eagle, one of his symbols, is at his right foot. He may have had a staff or thunderbolt in his left hand.
