Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 10:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support The equestrian statue of Marcus Nonius Balbus, the Younger (inv.6104), found in the forum of Herculaneum (Campania, Italy), one of the cities of the area of the Mount Vesuvius, destroyed by the eruption of 79 CE. This marble statue was sculpted around 50 CE, and is a very nice example of the ancient imperial roman art of sculpture. It was a gift of the inhabitants of the city of Nuceria, in recognition to his benefactor. It is in very good shape, with many interesting details. On display at the Naples National Archaeological Museum, not to be confused with another similar statue of his father, Marcus Nonius Balbus, the Elder (inv.6211). The original version, and a transparent background version, are available in the file description page, as I usually do. -- Jebulon (talk) 10:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice horse. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 02:57, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - This is an interesting photo, because if you had presented it against the original background, it would have lacked sufficient contrast to be a great photo. However, I don't really find that there's anything dishonest about your representation of this great equestrian statue itself. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:36, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
