Roman equestrian statues, like many equestrian statues before and after, were about much more than men with horses; they embody the relationship between the leader and the military. The equites, a military class, played an incredibly important role in Roman society.. The horse and rider as a symbol of heroism has a distinguished history in Western art stretching back to long before Leonardo's plans for the monument to Francesco Sforza. In sixth-century BCE Athens, several statues of men on horseback were dedicated in the sanctuary of the goddess Athena on the Acropolis.
