Through comparison of heads and monument, the author shows that the Motya statue represents a charioteer, datable to the Severe style. In this is the case, it was brought to Motya by one of the Siceliot cities plundered by the Carthaginians. Since of those cities only Akragas had Panhellenic victories in the quadriga, it follows that the Auriga belonged to the quadriga commemorating the Olympic victory of Theron, tyrant of Akragas, with the charioteer Nikomachos, in the 76th Olympiad (476 B.C.), a victory sung by Pindar in "Olympian Odes" 2 and 3.
