Athena Mattei

Athena Mattei
Height 230 cm. About 130-90 BCE. Louvre, Paris.

  • A copy to scale in marble of the bronze statue of Athena Piraeus.
  • The difference between this copy and the original is attributed to the different material used.
  • The extended position of the arm in the bronze Athena Piraeus could not be reproduced in marble without the addition of an awkward support.
