who equated the proportions of the ideal man?

The first century Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio equated the proportions of the ideal man with the circle and the square.

"And just as the human body yields to a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it. For if we measure the distance from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and then apply that measure to the outstretched arms, the breadth will be found to be the same as the height."
