Location: Хисар, Bulgaria


When I studied philosophy, we talked about the Greeks' attitudes toward male youths: They were desired after because of their potential as future leaders. This is the first time that I have seen, in person, a visual depiction of that ideal. However, there are two Roman archaeological reserves; so I'm not sure if this statue is contemporary or a carryover from the Byzantine Empire (c1014-1288).
