介绍（中）	这具残缺躯干的姿势表明，这位身穿希腊式短斗篷和华丽胸甲的人物最初骑着一匹正在饲养的马，左手握着缰绳，右手挥舞着武器。动感的马术铜像在希腊化和罗马艺术中有着悠久的传统，源于利西波斯的著名作品《亚历山大大帝骑马》，这是为了纪念马其顿领导人在格拉尼科斯河首次战胜波斯人。罗马人有时采用希腊化风格的胸甲。事实上，马术雕像作为古代公共纪念碑的广泛流行，以及缺乏保存的例子，阻碍了对躯干的精确年代测定。技术和风格上的考虑倾向于一个有点省级的，可能是罗马式的工作室胸甲饰有两条高浮雕的连续雕带。Arimaspians，一个来自遥远北方的传说部落，在上饰带与狮鹫作战。海雕、海豚和棕榈树装饰着下面的一个。这些强有力的图像暗示了这个部落在世界边缘的胜利和英勇无畏。在罗马时代，阿里玛斯派的形象有时与帕提亚人联系在一起。
介绍（英）	The pose of this fragmentary torso suggests that the figure, who wears a short cape and an ornate cuirass of Hellenistic type, was originally riding a rearing horse, the left hand holding the reins while the right wielded a weapon. Dynamic equestrian bronze statues have a long tradition in Hellenistic and Roman art, stemming from Lysippos' famous group showing Alexander the Great on horseback, which commemorates the Macedonian leader's first major victory over the Persians at the Granikos River. The Romans sometimes adopted cuirasses of Hellenistic type. This fact, the widespread popularity of the equestrian statue as a public monument in antiquity, and the dearth of preserved examples hamper close dating of the torso. Technical and stylistic considerations lean toward a somewhat provincial, likely Roman, workshop. The cuirass is decorated with two running friezes in high relief. Arimaspians, a legendary tribe from the distant north, combat griffins in the upper frieze. Sea griffins, dolphins, and palms decorate the lower one. Such potent imagery alludes to victory and the heroic valor of this tribe from across the sea, on the fringes of the world. In Roman times, imagery of Arimaspians was sometimes linked to the Parthians.
