Discovery of bronze statues in Italy may rewrite Etruscan and Roman history

• jfengel 4y ago
  This is awesome. Most statues in antiquity were bronze, rather than marble. They were easier to make, and could even be mass-produced. But they were also easy to melt down, especially once people invented bronze cannons. So there are depressingly few ancient bronzes around. And even less from the Etruscans. So this has the potential to be incredibly informative.
