<p>Hygeia was one of the daughters of Asklepios, the Greco-Roman god of medicine and healing. Hygeia was worshipped as the goddess of good health or cleanliness. Her name is where we get the word &amp;#145;hygiene&amp;#146; from. This small statue is made from marble and was reputedly found in Ostia, Italy, in the early 1900s.
