The
Boxer at Rest, also known as the
Terme Boxer,
Seated Boxer,
Defeated Boxer, or
Boxer of the Quirinal, is a bronze sculpture, a
Hellenistic Greek original,
[1] of a sitting nude
boxer at rest, still wearing his himantes (
Ancient Greek: ἱμάντες,
romanized:
himántes, plural of ἱμάς,
himás, 'a leathern strap or thong'
[2]), a type of leather hand-wrap. It has been given various dates within the period of
about 330 to 50 BC. It was excavated in Rome in 1885, and is now in the collection of the
National Museum of Rome, normally displayed in the
Palazzo Massimo alle Terme.
