As a result of Alexander the Great’s expedition at the end of the 4th century BCE, the center of sculpture shifted from mainland Greece to the east, to Rhodes, Pergamum, Alexandria, Antioch, and other places. … From Lysippos…He was a skilled caster and is said to have produced many works, including various portraits of the great king, but no originals that can be said to be his with any certainty remain.
