Pergamon

"Gauls/Galatians"? from a monument on the acropolis at Pergamon. Various images.



The "dying Gaul" is a Hellenistic work, made to be seen from all sides. If this is the "front" view, what of the head?


Another view. Note the "trumpet" on the base, which is probably a restoration.


Shoulders and head; note torc.


Face and head -- note unGreek elements in facial hair and hair; pathos.


"Frontal" view? of a group meant to be seen from at least three sides.


2 oblique views.


Detail of the man.


View of the side with the woman.


A plaster cast of the original pieces (mainly). The small figure of a child is added in a conjectural reconstruction.


A reconstruction drawing combining the suicide group with the trumpeter, seen from above. Likelihood?


An even stranger reconstruction drawing adding children.
