The monumental ancient marbles were discovered in the Villa Adriana excavations in 1736 by Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti, who kept them in his private collection in the Palazzo di Montecitorio. They were later acquired by Pope Clement XIII, who installed them in the Capitoline Museum. The finest bronze reductions of this model were cast by Righetti and Zoffoli and were highly prized by 18th-century collectors. Other editions were produced throughout the 19th century.
