Abstract
Aplu, God of Delphi: Adopted from Greece via Latium together with his twin sister Artumes (Artemis), Aplu (Apollo) retained his foreign character, especially as patron of the international oracular sanctuary at Delphi. Here he is portrayed with a short mantle draped over his left arm and waist, but otherwise nude, and crowned with a garland of laurel branches. His raised left hand would have held an attribute such as a lightning bolt. His outstretched right hand carries a small deer.
