Rome Day 3, pt 5

An interesting side note: most of the male statues were missing their, um, parts. The reason was that in the later years (rennaisance?) the women were too delicate to see that on a statue so they removed them and covered those areas with fig leaves. Then later decided that that was not true to the artists, so they were removed but the parts were still missing. Gives me a giggle to think that some day they are going to uncover a room with a pile of willies in it.

Another thing too, lots of the statues would get broken or their head would fall off and they would replace it with another part they had laying around. Those ancient Romans were the first "green" society because they were all about recycling. They did it with buildings and art and probably a lot more.
