Various dates have been suggested for the statue, ranging from about 200 BC to the 70s AD, though "a Julio-Claudian date [between 27 BC and 68 AD] ... is now preferred".

Piazza della Rotunda, Rome, Italy Ricky Mastantuono is an incredibly talented acoustic and electric guitarist who "feels" every note! For me, his talent lies, at times, beside Jeff Beck and other times beside Neil Young, depending upon the music he is playing. In any event, he is a fantastic musician!!! If it is possible to purchase his CDs (as we did), you will not be disappointed. Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments!
