    *Remake of the extraordinary statue discovered during excavations at the Villa dei Papyrus in Herculaneum in 1758 and now housed at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. It represents the God of travelers and merchants, Hermes, resting.
    Specialists agree that it is a 1st-century AD Roman copy of a 3rd-century BC Greek bronze.

    * Mercury is the Roman God corresponding to the Greek Hermes. Protector of merchants, travelers and thieves, he is also the messenger of his father Jupiter.
    * Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892), best known for his bronze foundry, joined forces in 1838 with mechanic Achille Collas (1795-1859), inventor of the process for reproducing bronze and objets d'art.
