Seated Boxer
Museo delle Terme, Rome, Italy

This image shows a copy in the Beazley collection, England.
The IISOH will purchase a bronze copy made from a mold of the original statue.
The benefactor can name this Sculpture Garden section which will be dedicated with
a marker engraved in stone (marble or granite) or cast in relief in bronze.

Artist unknown

Found in Rome, 1885


The statue was excavated from the south slope of the Quirinal Hill,
apparently buried to keep it safe. Very few original bronze statues
from antiquity exist, so this was a great find.


Researching this statue can cause confusion because it is referenced by a
variety of names including:
Seated Boxer
Terme Boxer
Boxer of the Quirinal


while the museum also is referenced by a variety of names including:
National Roman Museum
Museo Nazionale Romano Terme di Diocleziano
Museo Nazionale delle Terme
Museo delle Terme, Rome
and others.
