The Apollo of Veii is a life-size painted terracotta Etruscan statue of Aplu (Apollo), designed to be placed at the highest part of a temple. The statue was discovered in the Portonaccio sanctuary of ancient Veii, Latium, in what is now central Italy, and dates from c. 510-500 BC. It was created in the so-called "international" Ionic or late-archaic Etruscan style.[1]
It was discovered in 1916, and is now on display in the National Etruscan Museum in Rome.[1]
