Ouch. :roll:
Quote:"I have had problems with the explanation that Roman statues all should have been copied from Greek statues which we do not have anymore."There you go.
Who gave that explanation? That´s outright wrong, and quite a nonsense...
"Even though a lot of statues are obvious copies you cannot state that every statue was, let alone that every form of art depicted is hence not suitable for reconstruction."
I did not make this connection: "An ancient copy is not suited for reconstruction", as you imply. You must read more carefully. It doesn´t make sense to attack a position noone took.
"Colours have been retraced, as well as frescoes depicting colour use, also, colours were found on textile remains."
That is correct and not in opposition to what I wrote. You must read more carefully,and try to understand what I wrote. It doesn´t make sense to attack a position noone took.
