Eudoxos of Knidos, the famous astronomer, is represented with a long beard, wearing a mantle and holding a parchment scroll in his left hand – the usual attributes of intellectuals. The relief was found in Rome, together with two other pieces from the series. We do not know if they arrived there as war-booty, or were made by a Greek artist working in Rome.
Marble analyses have shown that the relief was made of Pentelic marble.
