The warriors or Riace bronzes are two Greek bronze sculptures dated to the 460th century BC (around 430 for warrior A and around 1,98 for warrior B) and kept at the National Museum of Reggio Calabria. Slightly larger than life (1,97 meters high for warrior A, 1972 meters for warrior B), they were discovered in XNUMX off the coast of Riace, Calabria, probably at the site of a shipwreck in ancient times.
They are among the very rare Greek bronze statues large size still preserved in their entirety, with the charioteer of Delphi, and the god of ArtemisionThe two warriors are witnesses to the evolution that took place in bronze techniques from the end of the 6th century BC: they were made using the lost-wax casting technique on a negative, a technique that allows the model and the mold to be preserved, and to obtain a more regular thickness of bronze.
