Highlights from DIVA: Summer Olympics

With the Summer Olympics finishing this week, check out this sculpture discobolos (discus thrower) on exhibit at the Vatican Museum. The sculpture is a Roman copy of an original Greek sculpture, demonstrating an athlete in motion as he prepares to release his discus throw. Similar copies of the discobolos are on view at the British Museum and the National Museum of Rome. An image of the discobolos is available to view or download through the CSU World Image Archive on DIVA.
