The famous [[Apollo of Mantua]] and its variants are early forms of the [[Apollo Citharoedus]] statue type, in which the god holds the [[cithara]], a sophisticated seven-stringed variant of the lyre, in his left arm. While none of the Greek originals have survived, several Roman copies from approximately the late 1st or early 2nd century exist, of which an example is the [[Apollo Barberini]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}
