Double Herm of Socrates and Seneca, Marble sculpture in Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany.
The Double Herm of Socrates and Seneca features two marble heads joined at the back, measuring 27 centimeters in height and 26 centimeters in length.
Created between 200 and 250 AD, this Roman statue was discovered at Villa Celimontana and became part of the Antikensammlung collection in Berlin in 1813.
The sculpture combines the Greek philosopher Socrates with his satyr-like features and the Roman Stoic Seneca, representing the connection between these two philosophical traditions.
Visitors can find this ancient artifact in the Pergamon Museum's permanent collection, where it is displayed alongside other Classical Roman artworks.
This marble piece contains both Greek and Latin inscriptions, making it the only confirmed portrait of Seneca known to exist in ancient sculpture.
