Something from the ancient world for you today. Before I saw this video I didn't know that in ancient Greece bronze was used to create statues long before modern times. And that most statues we nowadays see are copies made by the Romans and bronze was melted to be re-used. Therefore very few original statues exist. I hope you find this video as interesting as I did.
Apollonius, Boxer at Rest, c. 100 B.C.E., bronze, Palazzo Massimo, Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome
