Crouching Venus, Hadrianic copy of Greek original by Doidalsas, once situated at the Heliocaminus Baths at Villa Adriana, Tivoli, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Rome.

Doidalsas or Doidalses was a sculptor from Bithynia active in mid-3rd c. BC and created the votive bronze statue of Bathing Aphrodite, which made him famous (commissioned by the king of Bithynia Nicomedes I (279-255 BC), because he could not acquire Aphrodite of Knidos)

Unknown Artist

Statue of Thetis with a triton, Roman copy from a Greek original of the 2nd century BC, Thasian marble. A recent reconstruction identifies the statue as a part of the sculptural group by Skopas of Thetis giving her son Achilles new weapons described by Pliny. According to this theory, the statue known as “Ludovisi Ares” would actually represent Achilles. (x)

Death of a Charioteer

Martial, Epigrams X.53

I am the famous Scorpus, glory of the shout-filled Circus, Source of your clapping, Rome, and your brief delight; Envious Lachesis snatched me away at twenty-seven-- Counting my victories, she thought me elderly.

Ille ego sum Scorpus, clamosi gloria Circi, Plausus, Roma, tui deliciaeque breves, Invida quem Lachesis raptum trieteride nona, Dum numerat palmas, credidit esse senem.
