Talk:Monteleone Chariot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] New image?

If anyone can locate an image of the Monteleone chariot as of its most recent restoration, I think we should replace the image that's currently heading this article. The current image is of the 1903 restoration, which was historically inaccurate in a number of particulars -- for example, the current restoration has moved some of the decorations around (no more "hubcaps", apparently) and replaced the straight harness pole with a curved pole. As far as I know, the Monteleone chariot will not be on display until the late-April 2007 reopening of the Greek and Roman galleries at the Met, so we may have to wait for the reopening to acquire a current image.

[edit] Edits from 16 July 2007

Re. the edits of 16 July 2007 by user Tvannozzi: I was unable to verify the information added in this edit, outside of the linked website also added by this user. The edits tend to conflict with the published sources that have already been cited in the article.

Additionally, since the edits, the linked website, and the username itself all indicate a conflict of interest, I've taken the liberty of reverting the article to the previous, cited, version. Best, -- Docether 19:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
