References need fixing so they connect. I think the photo may be of a Roman copy. The Greeks did not lean their statues against supports as is in the case here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buddenbooks (talk • contribs) 23:55, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TWO marble copies in the Naples museum?!

"The sculpture was known through the Roman marble replica found in Herculaneum and conserved in the Naples National Archaeological Museum...

"...Perhaps the best known copy of the Doryphoros was excavated in Pompeii and now resides in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli [Naples, Museo Nazionale 6011]."

So, are there two copies, one found in Herculaneum, and one in Pompeii? Because on my last visit to the museum, there was only one copy (and I don't remember where it was found...) --
