I am definitely impressed by the size of these statues. I am always wondered how they were able to make these beautiful and detailed statues. It is a true artform! And indeed, the people who made them had huge ego's. When I was in Rome there were a lot of statues without a head. The heads were cut off, because after the war they lost and the army who had won cut there heads off. This seems to be some sort of victory tradition. A shame of the statues..
