Before Ragnar visits King Ecbert's baths he passes through a hall where he notices a man's size statue of the Aphrodite of Milos in its current form (armless). In fact, although the statue was about a thousand years old, it was not discovered until the early 19th century in Constantinople (the present Istanbul). Even if Ecbert could have had a copy - which should be over 2m tall - it should have been based on the original full body one and not the remains.
When Athelstan is hunting with Horik's men there is a lamp clearly visible in the background.
