Leather and satin-finish metal belt.

Hermès leather and satin metal belt Hermes thus became the god of travelers, merchants, thieves, and communication. He was known for his speed: he wore winged sandals and carried the caduceus, a magic staff with two intertwined serpents. His task was to carry messages between the gods and between gods and men, as well as to accompany the souls of the dead to the Underworld.

His figure embodies intelligence, cunning, and movement. He was not just a fast god, but also a mediator, capable of crossing boundaries—physical, moral, or divine. He helped Persephone return to her mother Demeter, guided Odysseus and Proserpina, and was often by the side of heroes and deities.

Over time, Hermes was identified with the Roman god Mercury, retaining much of his characteristics. Even today, his symbol and figure are linked to communication, speed, and commerce, making him one of the most contemporary and beloved deities of classical mythology.
