The Aphrodite Kallipygos statue is a Roman marble sculpture of the goddess Venus, also known as Aphrodite in Greek mythology. The statue depicts Venus lifting her dress to reveal her buttocks. It's believed to have been made during the 1st or 2nd century AD and was discovered in the late 18th century in the ruins of the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The statue is currently displayed at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The Aphrodite Kallipygos statue is also known as the "Venus Callipyge" or "Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks." The statue's name is derived from the Greek words "kalli" (beautiful) and "pyge" (buttocks). The statue is believed to be a copy of an earlier Greek statue and is known for its intricate drapery and lifelike depiction of the female form. It's considered to be one of the most significant works of ancient Roman art and is admired for its beauty and sensuality.
