Sleeping Hermaphroditus in Palazzo Massimo

Several Roman marble Roman copies of the Greek original survived. One is in the Villa Borghese Gallery in Rome although the more famous Borghese-Hermaphrodite on a Bernini-carved mattress is now in the Louvre.

The Palazzo Massimo has one of the finest collections of busts and sculptures from antiquity in Rome. As the main venue of the Roman National Museum, the best archaeological finds in Rome since 1870 are on display here.
