context_page_description: The Youth of Magdalensberg was an ancient Roman bronze statue dating to the first century B.C., missing since approximately 1810 and now presumed lost, that was discovered in 1502 at the Carinthian mountain Magdalensberg, once a major late Celtic and early Roman city of Noricum. It is known today primarily from a sixteenth-century cast now held at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, which until 1986 was mistakenly regarded as the original.
  Until the twentieth century, the statue was also known as the Youth of Helenenberg from the old name for Magdalensberg. The youth is the only ancient full-size bronze statue known from the Eastern Alpine region and therefore is of great significance in Austria.
