Boxer at Rest
Dated to around 330 B.C.E., the bronze ''Boxer at Rest'', also known as the ''Terme Boxer'' or ''Boxer of the Quirinal'', is a Hellenistic Greek sculpture of a sitting nude boxer at rest, still wearing his caestus, a type of leather hand-wrap, in the collection of the National Museum of Rome.
==Discovery==
The Boxer is one of two unrelated bronzes (the other being the unidentified Hellenistic ruler) discovered on the slopes of the Quirinal within a month of each other in 1885, possibly from the remains of the Baths of Constantine. It appears that both had been carefully buried in antiquity. The archaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani, who was present at the sculpture's discovery, wrote
I have witnessed, in my long career in the active field of archaeology, many discoveries; I have experienced surprise after surprise; I have sometimes and most unexpectedly met with real masterpieces; but I have never felt such an extraordinary impression as the one created by the sight of this magnificent specimen of a semi-barbaric athlete, coming slowly out of the ground, as if awakening from a long repose after his gallant fights.〔Lanciani, ''Ancient Rome in Light of Recent Discoveries'' (1888:305–306), quoted in (Sean Hemingway, "The Boxer: an ancient masterpiece comes to the Met", 2013 ); accessed 29 June 2013.〕
