Roman sarcophagus depicting Labors of Hercules - defeat of Nemean lion, the Hydra of Lerna and the Erymanthian Boar 240-250 CE

Note: Signage in the museum refers to the "Calidonian" boar - the Calidonian boar was the boar slain by Atalanta. Thanks for the catch - N.S. Gill!

 

Photographed at the Palazzo Altemps, Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome Italy
