PERIOD IV. 56<br />
As time goes on, <strong>the</strong> human figure as represented on<br />
<strong>the</strong> coinage becomes gradually more elance, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
muscles <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body are more strongly indicated. Cf. for<br />
instance IV. B. 24 with III. B. 35. This is due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
influence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> school <strong>of</strong> Lysippus. The <strong>principal</strong> sculp<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
<strong>of</strong> Alex<strong>and</strong>er's time are those <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Argive-Sicyonian<br />
school, Euphranor <strong>and</strong> Lysippus, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> Praxiteles<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> Lysippus, <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> gem-engraver<br />
Pyrgoteles.<br />
The chief extant works <strong>of</strong> art are :<br />
The sculptures from <strong>the</strong> Temple <strong>of</strong> Artemis at Ephesus, in <strong>the</strong><br />
British Museum.<br />
The marble copies <strong>of</strong> heads <strong>of</strong> Alex<strong>and</strong>er, in <strong>the</strong> British Museum,<br />
Louvre, <strong>and</strong> Capi<strong>to</strong>l.<br />
The marble copy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Apoxyomenos <strong>of</strong> Lysippus. Vatican.<br />
