Discus Throwers in Palazzo Massimo - a photo on Flickriver

Roman marble copies of Greek sculptures include two fine examples of the discus thrower — the complete Lancellotti Discobolus and the Discobolus of Castelporziona that has lost his head, an arm, and lower limbs. These copies are based on the original bronze by Myron, ca. 450 BC. Despite the difficulty of reproducing the discus thrower in marble, many copies were made during the Roman era with the two on display dating from the Hadrianic period (AD 117-138).

Visit the Palazzo Massimo in Rome to see top sculptures, portraits, bronzes, mosaics, and even frescoes from antiquity. As the main venue of the Roman National Museum (Museo Nazionale Romano), the best archaeological finds in Rome since 1870 are on display here.
