DonnodubusThis stela of an unusually muscular #Mercury from #Lugdunum is a great example of the Mercurius #Gebrinius icon, where He rests His bag of money on the head of a ram.
This piqued my interest especially because the only inscriptions we have to #Gebrinios that I know of are from Germania, much further Northeast.
If only the inscription on this stela had survived like the icon did...
