An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable.
The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. Alongside the sculpture, fragments of wood, a leather sole, and plant remains were recovered.

Hallazgo extraordinario en Ibiza: una escultura de Hércules emerge bajo las futuras viviendas del Ibavi - La Voz De Ibiza

La talla, de unos 30 centímetros y estilo grecorromano, se conservó en perfecto estado bajo el nivel freático junto a restos de cuero, madera y semillas.
