A dead Gaul

This iconic portrayal of a fallen warrior is an exact replica of its ancient counterpart from roughly 125 BC. Originating from the north central regions of Anatolia, now modern-day Turkey, the Galatians were a fierce tribe that inhabited the land known as Galatia during the Hellenistic era. The eternal theme of the Dying Warrior continued to captivate both Greek and Roman artists for centuries, reflecting their prolonged battles against the formidable Galatian forces.
