Dying Gaul
''The Dying Gaul''—also called ''The Dying Galatian''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.museicapitolini.org/collezioni/percorsi_per_sale/palazzo_nuovo/sala_del_gladiatore )〕 (in Italian: ''Galata Morente'') or ''The Dying Gladiator''—is an ancient Roman marble copy of a lost Hellenistic sculpture thought to have been executed in bronze.〔Wolfgang Helbig, ''Führer durch die öffenlicher Sammlungen Klassischer altertümer in Rom'' (Tubingen 1963-71) vol. II, pp 240-42.〕 The original may have been commissioned some time between 230 and 220 BC by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia (modern Turkey). The identity of the sculptor of the original is unknown, but it has been suggested that Epigonus, court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon, may have been the creator.
The copy was most commonly known as ''The Dying Gladiator'' until the 20th century, on the assumption that it depicted a wounded gladiator in a Roman amphitheatre.〔Henry Beauchamp Walters, ''The Art of the Greeks'', The Macmillan Company, 1906, p.130 notes that it is still most commonly called that because of the popularity of Byron's description.〕 Scholars had identified it as a Gaul or Galatian by the mid-19th century, but it took many decades for the new title to achieve popular acceptance.
==Description==
The white marble statue which may have originally been painted depicts a wounded, slumping Celt with remarkable realism and pathos, particularly as regards the face. A bleeding sword puncture is visible in his lower right chest. The figure is represented as a Celtic warrior with characteristic hairstyle and moustache and has a torc around his neck. He lies on his fallen shield while his sword, belt, and a curved trumpet lie beside him. The sword hilt bears a lion head. The present base was added after its 17th-century rediscovery.
