A Roman Statue You Never Thought You’d See
Published by Paul Tassi at 1:00 pm





Ah Rome, home of classic architecture and a whole host of famous statues in various states of undress and decay. It’s nice to see someone is trying to carry on the rich tradition of the area, but I doubt this is the sort of classical art the majority of the public would approve of.

This is a very real statue, spotted in Rome by a lucky traveler. It’s a scene from fan-made slash fiction novels that a whole host of strange nerds have longed to see over the years, but for the rest of us, it’s incredibly bizarre.

Will historians be digging through Rome 3,000 years from now and find this, and go “What he hell was wrong with people in the 21st century? Did everyone really dress like this?”

1. LOL Looks like it's made of plastic resin.
Or fiberglass.

It would have wasted marble. ;)
