There are various examples from the ancient world of sculpture executed on a monumental scale, the immense head and left foot of the Emperor Constantine, held at the Capitoline Museum, Rome being obvious examples. Direct comparison can be made with a colossal Hellenistic marble head of Heracles dating to the first half of the 2nd century B.C. The piece was discovered in a later wall at Pergamon, and is now held at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
