It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
This delightful figure of the #Roman god #Mercury is holding a purse and he has winged feet and wears his winged helmet. He was seen as protecting the pay of Roman soldiers, so this figure may have belonged to a soldier.
May he protect your wages too!
🏛 Hermes-Mercurius found in Barnhill, Perth, #Scotland
@antiquidons#Astronomy and calendars are the domain of #Hermes. His grandfather Atlas turns the heavenly constellations and his mother Maia is one of the starry Pleiades.
Atlas instructed him in astronomy and the Greek mythographer Euhemeros says that #Aphrodite first established the constellations and taught Hermes. The planet #Mercury is attributed to Hermes because he first established the months and perceived the courses of the constellations.
