Roman copies

Roman copies are authentic or close-to-authentic reproductions of ancient Greek sculptures made by Roman artists. Since Romans greatly admired Greek art, they often recreated famous Greek statues, sometimes adding their own touches or repairing damages. These copies allowed Romans and later generations to appreciate Greek artistic mastery, especially since original Greek sculptures were often lost or damaged over time. Roman copies can be in marble or bronze, and they serve as valuable resources for studying ancient Greek art and culture today.
