The Farnese Bull, formerly in the Farnese collection in Rome, is a massive and elaborated Roman copy of a Hellenistic sculpture. It is the largest single sculpture yet recovered from antiquity. Along with the rest of the Farnese antiquities, since 1826 it has been in the collection of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Napoli in Naples, inv. no. 6002, although in recent years sometimes it is displayed at the Museo di Capodimonte across the city. This sculpture is much restored and includes around the base a child, a dog, and other animals that perhaps were not in the original composition if representations in drawings are complete. This sculpture is dated to the Severan period.
