The Romans had an insatiable appetite for ancient Greek copies. They discovered Hellenistic arts upon conquering the Eastern Mediterranean basin and were instantly enthralled. Unable to take home every single statue they fell in love with, they shipped what they could and copied the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their undying passion, copies of ancient works survive today that would otherwise have been lost through the centuries, due to the widespread practice of recycling bronze &#8211; meaning that many bronze statues were melted down so their material could be reused for the next masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section EmphasisText  \">\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"rich-text\">\n\t\t<p>An exact copy is a work of art in its own right. It&#8217;s a handcrafted object that\u2019s imprinted with time. The time that went into making it, as each one is a true labor of love and the era it originated in, promoting ancient Greek heritage every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section ContentText TitleCenter  \">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"rich-text\">\n\t\t<p>Exact copies continued to serve their purpose throughout Greek history and proved especially indispensable when the National Archaeological Museum was established in 1893. Shortly after it was announced, the Museum was overrun with antiquities arriving from every corner of Attica and they used plaster molds to piece everything together, while at the same time building up the Museum\u2019s own plaster cast gallery.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section galleryBlock \">\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"CarouselDiv\">\n\t<div

specific number of copies.\u201d An exact copy holds many secrets,\u201d says Vasilis Liolios, a conservator at the Hellenic Organization of Cultural Resources Development (ODAP)\u2019s certified

ungraceful. That\u2019s where the painters come in. Their job is to mimic the wear and tear of time. To simulate bronze, they start off by apply a dark base coat and then add a variety of colors, iron filings and bit of ochre to create an effect so similar to the original, it\u2019s hard to tell which is which. That\u2019s what sets a good copy apart from a bad one: good patina and invisible seams.<\/p>\n<p>Some artifacts, made of clay or glass, are too fragile to be handled, so they get 3D scanned to avoid any direct human contact. But at the end of the day, no matter the technique, an exact copy is a work of art in its own right. It&#8217;s a handcrafted object that\u2019s imprinted with time. The time that went into making it, as each one is a true labor of love and the era it originated in, promoting ancient Greek heritage every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe
