The Greek sculptors tried to clarify it by looking for mathematical proportions, just as they sought some reality behind appearances.

The type is represented by neo-Attic Imperial Roman copies of the late 1st or early 2nd century, modelled upon a supposed Greek bronze original made in the second quarter of the 5th century BCE, in a style similar to works of Polykleitos but more archaic.
