Hearst Museum object titled Plaster cast, accession number 21-21, described as Cast of an apotheosis of Herakles (Latin: Hercules), representing the hero and 5 deities advancing to left: Demeter, Apollo, Athena, Ares, and Poseidon (Latin: Ceres, Apollo, Minerva, Mars and Neptune), Terracotta. No original for this relief has been traced. Its model is the Capitoline well kerb. A kindred relief in Munich is a forgery by Monti. So, probably, is this. There are 12 gods, in groups of six. Several suspicious points.
