Classical Art Collection - Aristophanes vs. Menander A herm is a (stone) rectangular-sectioned pillar topped with a head. Their origins were used as waymarkers for travellers and the topped portraits were reserved for depictions of gods; later on they were used as portrait busts, as found in this janiform example. Janiform busts borrow their name from Janus, the Roman god of doorways and transitions, who was often portrated with two heads. Aristophanes (460 - 380 BC) was the most famous writer of Old Comedy plays in ancient Greece. Eleven of his forty plays survive virtually complete. Menander was also a dramatist, and best-known representative of Athenian comedies. This Roman Bust can entirely change the room's ambience and atmosphere with its’ quality and size. It is quite prestigious art sculpture to own and display in your work space, house, mansion, hotels and restaurants etc. Measurements: Height: 30cm / 11.8” Width: 15cm / 6” Depth: 22cm / 8.7” Please check out my store and website for more options and to complete the look of your space. ➡️ https://www.etsy.com/shop/ICONXARTS ➡️ Instagram 〽️ @iconxartstore 〽️ More Information about Art Piece: ?
