Plaster cast of Standing Discobolus (Discophoros)
Part of Plaster Casts
Original: Discovered in 1781 on Esquiline Hill. Considered to be a copy of an earlier Greek original.

This was because no one particular set of muscles was over-developed, with the result that their proportions were harmonious.
