The statue was created by the ancient Greek sculptor Agacias, the son of Dosisius. The statue was created around 100 BC and was discovered in 1611 near Anzio, south of Rome. Since then, it has been included in the collection of Borghese, hence the name Borghese Gladiator. In 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte purchased the statue and brought it to the Louvre.
