The Belvedere Torso is a fragment of a nude male statue, signed prominently on the front of the base by "Apollonios, son of Nestor, Athenian", who is unmentioned in ancient literature. It is now in the Museo Pio-Clementino (Inv. 1192) of the Vatican Museums. The figure has traditionally been identified as a Heracles, seated on an animal skin, though in recent studies,the skin has been identified as that of a panther, not the Nemean lion, occasioning other identifications.
