Bronze Head of Hypnos from Civitella d'Arna Bronze Head of Hypnos from Civitella d'Arna The Bronze Head of Hypnos is a Roman copy of an ancient Greek statue found at Civitella d'Arna near Perugia in central Italy. Widely copied since its discovery in the early nineteenth century, it has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1868. Only the head of the bronze statue is extant.
