Roman Statue Restored

A statue in Herculaneum that was partially destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius has been restored. The statue that depicted a wounded woman Amazon warrior, was restored by the use of digital imaging technology. The paint on the hair and eyes were preserved by the ash of the eruption, so the researches knew how to remodel it after the original. Once the team finalized what the rest of the statue would have looked they went back to Britain and remodeled the whole entire thing.
