Etymology: < Latin Herma, plural Hermae, a latinized form of Hermes, < Greek Ἑρμῆς Mercury, applied also at Athens to ‘any four-cornered pillar surmounted by a head or bust’.

A statue composed of a head, usually that of the god Hermes, placed on the top of a quadrangular pillar, of the proportions of the human body: such statues were exceedingly numerous in ancient Athens, where they were used as boundary-marks, mile-stones, sign-posts, pillars, pilasters, etc.
