The nude statue resembles ancient representations of Hermes , messenger of the Greek gods.

It may have decorated the townhouse of a wealthy Roman-era Athenian, Culture Ministry says.

It appears to lack its head, and to have been cracked along the torso in ancient times.

The statue has been taken to a conservation workshop.
