Antalya museum Hygeia 3094.jpg

view map

Hygeia, 2nd century AD, Perge, found in Perge in 1981 in the Gallery of Claudius Peison (to whom it is dedicated) at the South Bath. Like her father Asklepios she cared for the sick, but also included animals. She is often shown feeding a serpent, pouring it a drink from her cup, a cornucopia in her left hand. Found in 14 fragments, some parts missing. It is doubtlessly after a Hellenistic original.
