The Dying Gaul, also called The Dying Galatian (in Italian: "Galata Morente") or The Dying Gladiator, is an Ancient Roman marble semi-recumbent statue now in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. It is a copy of a now lost sculpture from the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) thought to have been made in bronze. The original may have been commissioned at some time between 230 and 220 BC by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia (part of Turkey). The original sculptor is believed to have been Epigonus, a court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon.
