Tuscania, near val Vidone Campanari excavations 1834 250-200 BCE Adonis is shown lying on a heavily draped kline, naked except for his boots and a mantle which veils his head, and with the fatal wound showing on his left thigh. The young hero-divinity, who was being fought over by Aphrodite and Persephone, is dying from the wounds he has received from a wild boar whose appearance was, perhaps, the work of the jealous Ares.
