Most if not all roman statues portrays a person in great shape so I am wondering if being muscular was a desirable norm for everyone or is it a natural consequence for people who’s not in the upper class. Also, what is the standard of beauty for men in the Roman times, is it their statutes? Because in some paintings, wealthy men is portrayed fat, do wealthy men back then care about how they look specifically? Thank you
Exercise, body shape and attitudes to physical fitness in the ancient world – covering both Rome and ancient Greece – were discussed here only a couple of days ago in the thread
led by u/J-Force and u/Iphikrates. While you're waiting for fresh answers to your question, you might like to review that discussion, which includes links to several older but detailed looks at the same issues.
