abstract = "In the year of 2017, the National Museum of Serbia bought a marble statue of
Hercules, found near Ruma, in Srem, at the tripoint of the villages of Budanovci, Dobrinci and Sibac. In the Roman period, this area belonged to the wider city territory of an important centre – Bassianae. The statue is preserved up to the knees, while the lower parts of the statue’s legs are missing. It can be presumed, on the basis of the preserved attributes, that the statue represents the eleventh Labour of the hero-god Hercules, since he is shown with apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. This particular Labour hasn’t been frequently depicted in Roman sculptural repertoire and the statue from Bassianae represents a unique complete figural composition in the territory of the Roman provinces in today’s Serbia so-far.",
