Tauriscus (C1 bc) A sculptor from Tralles in Asia Minor, the son of Artemidorus. He made some Hermerotes (combined statues of Eros and Hermes) which the Roman noble C. Asinius Pollio acquired. He also made, in collaboration with his brother Apollonius, a marble group at Rhodes of the Theban heroes Zethus, Amphion and Dirce, with the bull. This group was copied in the Farnese group found in the Baths of Caracalla at Rome.
