These include a statue of Augustus, various Roman copies of Greek statues such as those as the famous 'Discobolo Lancellotti', a sleeping Hermaphrodite, Venus about to take a bath, and Apollo which was copied from a fifth century B.C. Greek original in the workshops of Fidia.

The other 3 sites of the Roman National Museum
Palazzo Altemps: the Palace of Altemps is one of the most interesting examples of the Renaissance architecture in Rome. Palazzo Altemps houses important collections from Roman antiquity. The splendid Roman palace is the perfect setting to admire these ancient masterpieces.
In the palace are Renaissance and Baroque sculptures such as the famous Boncompagni Ludovisi collection, the rich sixteenth century collection of Asdrubale and Ciriaco Mattei and the Altemps collection itself.
Crypta Balbi (not included): originally a huge courtyard annexed to the theatre which Lucio Cornelio Balbo built for Augustus at the end of the first century A.D., the Crypta Balbi represents a development of Roman society and the urban landscape from antiquity to modern times.
The Bath of Diocleziano: this magnificent structure of the bath, the biggest of Ancient Rome, was built between the years 298 and 306 A.D. As well as sporting the traditional pools of water at various temperatures (calidarium, frigidarium and tepidarium), the bath also included a central basilica, an open-air swimming pool and many other rooms which were put to various uses. Part of the perimeter of the bath is now occupied by theChurch of Saint Mary of the Angels.
