The marble statue of Apollo from the Hellenistic period of ancient Rome

This marble statue is Apollo, holding a qin and quiver in his hand. He was naked except for the cloak around his waist. The right arm that was originally raised, as well as the left wrist and hand, are now missing. This statue is a work from the Hellenistic period of Rome, made in the 2nd century AD. This statue was excavated by an archaeological team led by Sir Robert Murdoch Smith and Edwin A. Borcher at the Temple of Apollo (Cyrene) in Libya. Now, this statue is housed in the British Museum in London. The height of the statue is 2.28 meters. This statue is a Roman replica of the original Greek work dating back to 200-150 BC.
