Summary[edit]

Description
English: "The Borghese Gladiator is a Hellenistic lifesize marble sculpture actually portraying a swordsman, created at Ephesus about 100 BCE.... From the attitude of the figure it is clear that the statue represents not a gladiator, but a warrior contend-ing with a mounted combatant.... Misnamed a gladiator due to an erroneous restoration, it was among the most admired and copied works of antiquity in the eighteenth century, providing sculptors a canon of proportions."
