On this relief, Hercules (Heracles) is killing Geryon, the giant who lived in southern Spain, before stealing his herd of cattle. This is the largest of all of the reliefs. We might be able to see an allusion here to the military triumphs of Emperor Maximianus Hercules in Spain. Perhaps he stayed at Chiragan on this occasion - this would explain the design of all of the large, sculpted décor presented in this section.

About the author:
Musée Saint-Raymond
Musée Saint-Raymond (in English, Saint-Raymond museum) is the archeological museum of Toulouse, opened in 1892. The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
