Like many other pieces found in Pompeii, it is a Roman work in Greek style; the youth is modeled after earlier, Greek sculptures of athletes. Created as an ancient lamp stand, the ephebe still stands on his original base, consisting of a bronze disk and stone tripod.

Possibly - it all depends on when the speakers are available, and what is going on in the pub.
Shame attendance is full, I'd've liked to've come to this!
I saw Glenn Jones's presentation at WebDD on Microformats and is was excellent. Have a great night!
Have just added myself to the attending list, wheee! :)
- Neil.
Jim, I missed it at WebDD, so I asked Glenn while I was there if he'd speak at a geek dinner!
Great show, thanks

Any chance of one of these being a Tuesday?
