The Riace Bronzes are termed "A" and "B". where Riace Warrior A is thought to be a depiction of a younger man than that of Riace Warrior B. They were found by a tourist on a scuba diving vacation, on August 16, 1972, perhaps at the site of a shipwreck, off the coast of Riace, near Reggio Calabria. The bronzes are on display in the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
