Reply to comment by Separate-Can-913 in Ancient statue of Hercules emerges from Rome sewerage repairs by Rob-Study-8562

Isn't determining it was Heracles based on a club and a lions pelt a little presumptuous?

Not really. Those are both significant items in the mythology of Hercules. They were pretty much his trademark props. If the ancient world had action figures, the Hercules figure would have come with a lion pelt and a club.
