In the relief “Heracles crowned by the Goddess of Victory“, Heracles gives good name to the concept of Herculean body, because the hero appears equipped with a formidable musculature, well proportioned chest, Apollonian stature. Beside him, appears a series of symbolic attributes, like the skin of Nemea, alluding to one of the twelve work in their mythical epic.

The Nike, at the same time, rests on a globe, alluding to universal power.
