Musei Capitolini visit Rome, Italy visit, 19th May 2018.

Relief depicting imperial clemency. Riding a horse , Marcus Aurelius is dressed in military grab with a breastplate and paludamentum. He holds up his right hand, on the verge of bestowing his clemency on two barbarians kneeling in front of him in a gesture of submission. The pose of the emperor is very similar to the pose of the large bronze statue located in the piazza.

Panel on display at Musei Capitolini, Rome, on the first landing of the large staircase.
