## Image Caption

Probably sculpted in a workshop in Aphrodisias ([Asia Minor](https://www.worldhistory.org/Asia_Minor/)), it was at Palaemon's sanctuary in [Isthmia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Isthmia/) (near [Corinth](https://www.worldhistory.org/corinth/)), where it was described by [Pausanias](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Pausanias/) (II, 2, 1) in the 2nd century CE. It is an important sample of the [Roman Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Empire/)'s classicism.
