Wow! These are great. There are definitely a few I've never even seen before, like the bronze Seleucid prince. That one is amazing. I also love the Athena statue.

Actually that statue is sometimes thought to belong to the Attalid dynasty but most assume it is Seleucid.

If i had more time in the Louvre Musée in April with my school i would have uploaded some pictures with me and these statues, i have only one now! Damn school only wanted to spend one hour in the louvre which is a shame!! But when i go back i'll upload alot more with me on it.

BTW this is me in the louvre
