Omphalos Apollo
Omphalos Apollo is a Roman copy of the Greek original by Calamis. None of Calamis'
work is said to survive, but there are several Roman copies extant.
Les copies flattent et rendent hommage au sculpteur original. My favorite work by Calamis is the bust of Apollo Omphalos. The Roman emperors admired the classic art of Ancient Greece and the power of the Greek empire, art as power.
