Entering the Hellenistic period of sculptures, we have a sculpture known as "The Dying Gaul", made around 230-220 BC.
A Gaul is an old term for a Celtic warrior, these celtic warriors fought naked to show how ripped and strong they were, they also believed that all they needed to win was what nature gave them. This isnt the actual greek sculpture, its a Roman copy of a Greek bronze. The romans were pros at copying things exactly and extreemly precisely.
