wonderwarhol:This beautiful sculpture, dating back to the 1st century BC, is known as Venus Callipyge. What does this translate to, you ask? Literally, “Venus of the beautiful buttocks.“ Believed to be a Roman copy of an ancient Greek statue. The subject matter is (if you haven’t noticed by the name of the piece) that of Venus (the Roman equivalent of Aphrodite).The original Greek piece is forever lost and, unfortunately, the creator of this Roman one is unknown. -- source link
