<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shea19, post: 6515363, member: 90981&quot;]Thanks!&nbsp; I love those posts...especially the incredible Nilus sculpture.&nbsp; I was lucky enough to see this statue at the museum in Naples a few years ago, and I visited Herculaneum on the same trip (I can&#039;t wait to be able to travel again).&nbsp; The Naples museum has a lot of sculptures that were recovered from the same villa.&nbsp; It really is unbelievable how many beautiful pieces of art were in that villa (the bust of Scipio Africanus from [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] &#039;s recent post actually came from there as well).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that there are probably a <i>lot</i> more reverse types that are based on actual statues that have since been lost to time.&nbsp; It seems like it would have made sense for engravers to base a lot of their reverse types on existing designs rather than come up with brand new ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
