Excerpt from book: identification is due to the sagacity of the late Prof. H. v. Brunn of Munich. The grounds for it are (i) the size of the statues, which is about half that of life, agreeing with Pausanias's statement that the figures were 2 cubits or about 3 feet in size; (2) the subjects of the statues, namely fighting, wounded, or dead Gauls and Persians, a dead Amazon, and a dead Giant, answering to Pausanias's description of the four groups; and (3) the nature of the marble, which is thought by experts to be either Asiatic or quarried in furni, a small island between Samos and Icaria.

As most of them preserve their original bases, and these bases are not pieces of one large base, but separate plinths each shaped so as to fit the position of the statue, it seems more probable that they are copies.
