We see the grand technical skill which led the Roman connoisseur to give his commissions to Greek sculptors. In the insistence upon realistic detail and the absence of a high ideal guiding the choice of subject, we can trace the influence of a taste far removed from any that Greek sentiment could have fostered.
Hellenistic works showing the influence of Roman taste as clearly as the " Seated Boxer " are rare. The Roman collector, as a rule, was perfectly content with a work which was practicall...y identical with some earlier Greek design. A close resemblance to a Greek original was in itself a strong recommendation. The faithful- ness with which Roman taste abided by Hellenic sculpture is proved by the popularity of the pseudo-archaic school of Pasiteles during the last days of the Roman Republic. Pasiteles was an Italian Greek. Pliny says of him that 122 A HISTORY OF SCULPTURE "he never executed any work without first making a clay model. " Excessive care and excessive emotional sobriety were the keynotes of his style.
