Lysippus, Scopas and Praxiteles are considered the three great sculptors of the second phase of classicism (4th century BC), a time of transition between the classical Greek era and Hellenism. The scholar of his work faces a number of problems of method: the extensive workshop of Lysippus, the demand for reproductions of his work while he was still alive and later among Hellenistic and Roman amateurs, the number of disciples directly in his circle and the survival of his works only in copies.

The 18th-century connoisseur Johann Joachim Winckelmann, a man with a practiced eye for male beauty, found the Ludovisi Ares the most beautiful Mars that had been preserved from Antiquity, when he wrote the catalogue of the Ludovisi collection. Rediscovered in 1622, the sculpture was apparently originally part of the temple of Mars (founded in 132 BCE in the southern part of the Campus Martius[2]), of which few traces remain, for it was recovered near the site of the church of San Salvatore in Campo. Pietro Santi Bartoli recorded in his notes that it had been found near
