Based on the original work in the Musée du Louvre (Paris), dated just before Christ and discovered in Rome around 1565. This marble belonged to the Campana, de Mollis, Aldobrandini and Villa Medici collections, before arriving at the Louvre in 1861. Above all, it forms part of the Ara Pacis, Emperor Augustus' altar of peace, most of which can be seen reconstructed in Rome, along the Tiber next to Augustus' mausoleum.
