AD (around 460 for the warrior to 430 A and B for the warrior) and kept at the National Museum of Reggio Calabria. A little larger than life (1.98 meters high and the warrior A, 1.97 meters for the Warrior B), they were discovered in 1972 off Riace, Calabria, probably at the scene of a shipwreck in Antiquity. They are among the very few Greek bronzes large still preserved in their entirety, with the Charioteer of Delphi and the god of Artemis.
