Ancient Greek and Roman statues often smelled like roses, a new study says

A sculpture of Aphrodite is displayed during an exhibition of ancient Greek art in 2007 in Beijing, China. The collection is from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. Many ancient statues were scented, a researcher says.

Ancient Greek and Roman statues didn't originally look like they do now in museums. A new study says they didn't smell the same, either.
