Foundation In Madrid Reconstructs The Statue Of The Roman Empero
In Rome, Italy, on February 6, 2024, the colossal statue of the Roman Emperor Constantine, whose few stone remains are housed in the Capitoline Museums, is being reconstructed with 3D printers by a Madrid-based foundation and is being presented to the public today. ''It is probably an important sculpture because it is situated at the boundary between the pagan and the Christian world. We know that Constantine was the first emperor to officially recognize the Christian religion,'' one expert notes. Another adds, ''It is a very important statue because it represents the new while using ancient patterns. By studying each one of the fragments, we have understood that the stone and the marble preserve the traces of the original sculpture's assembly.''
