This was one thought to be a statue of a dying gladiator in the arena of the Roman Empire but now we know it's a dying Gaul - one of Rome's Celtic enemies. This Celt has been pierced by a sword in his chest and prepares to die. It's a tragic scene captured by a Roman sculptor - possibly based on an earlier Green work of art.
