Apollo XVII Insignia description reading as "XVI"
I was unable to fix the caption of the Apollo XVII mission insignia as it reads "XVI" for some reason

Recent Restoration
When were the hands put back on? In Kenneth Clark's Civilization he shows it with a fig leaf but no hands.

21st century gibberish
Under the heading "21st century", it states "According to data compiled by the Google Ngram Viewer, modern references to 'Apollo Belvedere' in the English corpus match, percentage-wise, those of the mid-18th through mid-19th centuries." Would someone be willing to try to translate that sentence into common English? Google Translate is stymied.

In the 18th century, the work was often called "Apollo of Belvedere." So the ngram is quite misleading. See
here.

Strophium
The description refers to Apollo's head encircled by the strophium, 'symbolic of gods and kings'. The wikilink to
strophium redirects to the history of bras, Rome section. My (1957 pocket) Latin dictionary says: "strophium - breast-band; head-band" so the word signifies both, but the current wikilink seems to pick the wrong one. -- Verbarson talkedits 09:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)reply

The Greek name was krepis. The Roman name was crepida. No idea where Morrow got his half-pseudo-Greek "pseudo-krepides" from, but his reasoning is probably worth explaining since he's the only one on earth who's ever used it, except by way of citing him. The crepida was the quintessentially Greek shoe when they weren't just going barefoot so the idea that it's definitely "pseudo" and not possibly Greek is pretty specious and dubious on the face of it. The idea that this particular style of crepida never appeared on any classical statues when this is a copy of the classical statue also seems like a fairly ridiculous stretch.
It's always possible the Romans changed the footwear just for shits and giggles but, again, if so, the single guy who claims this should have his reasoning explained somewhere, either here or at a new article on
crepida (which we should have fwiw). —
