276 MONUMENTS OF HIPPODROME AND MUSICAL VICTORS. 
appears on several heads of boys, and, as von Mach says, it is certainly 
no better suited to Apollo or a jumper than to a boy driving colts 
in a chariot-race. The pose of the Boston statue also reminds us 
somewhat of that of the small bronze statue of a boy found in the Rhine 
near Xantenin 1858 and nowin Berlin.1 This is a Roman work seemingly 
inspired by a Greek prototype, and has been interpreted variously as 
the statue of Bonus Eventus, Novus Annus, and Dionysos. However, 
here again the forward inclination of the body points to the interpre- 
tation of a charioteer,? despite its nudity. The nude statue found 
on the Esquiline in 1874 and now in the Palazzo dei Conserva- 
tori, Rome, which has already been mentioned,’ has been shown to be 
that of a charioteer by a comparison with figures on Attic vases which 
represent mortals and gods entering chariots, and with a figure on the 
so-called Satrap Sarcophagus in Constantinople.’ The youth is rep- 
resented as standing on his left foot; he places his right on the chariot 
floor and extends his hands to hold the reins. “The statue seems to be a 
mediocre Roman copy of a Greek original bronze of about the middle 
of the fifth century B. C., as it shows certain traces of archaism. Furt- 
waengler has assigned it to the Gaeae: Kalamis along with a closely 
connected group of monuments.® 
Finally, in this connection, even though it Wek nothing to. de with 
monuments set up at Olympia, we shall discuss the life-size bronze 
statue of the Charioteer discovered by the French in 1896 in the excava- 
tions of Delphi, and now the cynosure of the village museum there.
