Rome, Palazzo Massimo. Observing the Discobolus Lancellotti.

Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo.

A visitor observes the Lancellotti Discobolus, in a room hosting other Roman statues from the classical age. This discobolus is a perfect copy - perhaps the unique fully preserved - made around the middle of the 2nd century AD to reproduce, in marble, an ancient masterpiece made in bronze by the Greek sculptor Myron, around 450 BC.
