This plaster copy was bought in 1904, made from an antique Roman copy of a now-lost Greek, Hellenistic statue from around 241-197 BC. The Greek original may have been placed at the Pergamon Altar. The right arm was restored by the Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarotti.
The work was most likely commissioned by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic, or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia (now Turkey). The identity of the sculptor of origin is unknown, but it has been suggested that Epigonus, a court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon, may have been the creator.
