Greek sculptures were mainly dedicated in sanctuaries and paid for by temples, cities and eventually by individual patrons, who could also be foreign potentates. Building accounts of the classical period document the cost of architectural sculpture, while the social status of sculptors was chiefly determined by their finances. In the Hellenistic period sculptures were also commissioned by kings or Roman Republican generals
