 : God statues of the Teutons


God statues of the Teutons

Bearded statues of the gods Mercury, Mars and Hercules, respectively their Germanic equivalents Wotan, Ziu and Thor (Donar). That the Roman deities were depicted with a beard, is to be understood as a conscious adaptation to the expectations of the Germanic believers, as cultural mimicry. Date created
