The hand of the famed colossal
ancient Roman statue of Emperor Constantine has been pout back
together in Rome after a finger arrived from the Louvre in
Paris, the Capitoline Museums said Thursday.
The bronze hand is on display in the Marcus Aurelius Exedra
together with other bronzes, formerly in the Lateran Palace,
gifted to the Roman people by Pope Sixtus IV in 1471.
The Rome museums thanked Louvre Director Jean-Luc Martinez for
his generosity.
