When approaching gallery 166 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art‚ I couldn’t help but notice the magnificent sculpture of the “Bronze statue of Camillus (acolyte).” As I began to study some background information on the early Imperial period of Roman culture‚ one would learn that there was an evident revival.
