I'm not clear on the meaning of this sentence: "The Boxer of Quirinal in Rome is the most famous statue in bronze."

As it is, it seems to be saying that the most famous bronze statue in the world is The Boxer of Quirinal. I think not.

I'm thinking maybe it should say, "The most famous depiction of the cestus in sculpture is The Boxer of Quirinal, in Rome."

It could also mean that the most famous bronze statue in Rome is The Boxer of Quirinal, but I doubt that's any more true that the first version.

I'm going to clarify the sentence to what I think it should say. If I'm wrong, feel free to revert me but please explain what the intended meaning is and add references if possible. Kafziel 21:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recategorization OK?

Hi, several of us are trying to organize the various "history of clothing" categories into a coherent framework, and we'd like to replace Category:Roman era clothing with Category:History of clothing (ancient Rome).. Is that OK with you all? Please add your comments and suggestions here and I'll check back here in a few days -- thanks muchly! :) WillowW 15:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
