Illustration
Poseidon was the god of the sea. He is depicted naked, with his mantle thrown over his left shoulder, encircling his left arm; the latter would have held something, probably a tribute, such as a small dolphin. The right leg is supported by a tree-trunk, whose front is shaped like a dolphin with a fish between its jaw. Marble. Roman Period, 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. From Byblos, Jbail, in modern-day Lebanon. (Museum of Archaeology, Istanbul, Turkey).
