They are depicted with their heads bent, seemingly contemplating their navels, which historically was considered a mystical or meditative practice.
The term "atlante" refers to a male figure used as a supporting column in architecture.
The head and body of the original Greek sculpture are ancient, while the rest are Roman replicas.
