Title

Bronze figure of Hercules, claimed to be Roman

Description

This figure was claimed by psychic researcher Harry Price as a Roman antiquity which he excavated in his Sussex home town. It was identified as a crude forgery at the time, and Price withdrew it from view and claimed consistently that it had been stolen, but it was still amongst his possessions at his death.
