  2. This is cool. When I was young, I studied Latin and Classical Greek. These statues brought back some memories. But I still don't like classical dicks.

  6. Along with this statue of Hermes, the Dying Gaul, Wounded Warrior and a gold Triton are among other sculptures to see. The collection of sculptures held at the Capitoline easily rivals that of the Vatican. Good overview of this fine museum.
