The Ludovisi Gaul killing himself

This sculpture depicting Gaul killing himself is a part of a sculptural group The Ludovisi Gaul killing himself and His Wife (sometimes called The Galatian Suicide). This is a Roman marble group depicting a man in the act of plunging a sword into his breast. The sculpture is a Pergamon School copy of III-II century BC of a Hellenistic original, circa III century BC. Other Roman marble copies from the same project are the equally famous Dying Gaul, and the less well-known Kneeling Gaul (also uploaded on Scan the World)
