The head and body of two different [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) copies were combined in the 18th century CE. The [god](https://www.worldhistory.org/God/) appears in the so-called "Lykeios type", with the right forearm resting across his head. The model was either an original, created around 340 BCE in the circle around Praxiteles or a [Hellenistic](https://www.worldhistory.org/Hellenic_World/) remodeling from the time around 150 BCE. Marble. Roman copy, around 140 CE. Acquired in [Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/), [Italy](https://www.worldhistory.org/italy/), in 1766 CE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
