This is a Roman copy of an athlete, made in about 370 B. C. by one of Policlytus’s pupils, perhaps Daedalus of Sikion (act. 400-360 B. C.). From a version of the sculpture in Berlin, we know that he is tying a strap around his right wrist, with both forearms outstretched. The sensual appearance of the muscular and well-built body was achieved by smooth undulations on the surface.
