Rogue Classicist on the “Apollo” of Gaza

Rogue Clasicist has done us all an enormous favour in setting out what is (and is not) known about the discovery of the object known as the "Gaza Apollo" 'The “Apollo” of Gaza ~ Part I: Fishy Tales and Timelines'. It's a long-un, but interesting and insightful, worth reading. Part two ("should appear by the weekend, barring unforeseen busyness"), looks at the statue itself and how its condition casts further doubts both on Ghurab’s find story and potential matters of authenticity.
