Note: This statue was moved into the Palazzo Nuovo in 1981 and replaced by a copy.
The Column of Marcus Aurelius. It is a Doric column, with a spiral relief, built in honour of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and modeled on Trajan's Column. The latest theory states that the expeditions against the Marcomanni and Quadi in the years 172 and 173 are in the lower half and the successes of the emperor over the Sarmatians in the years 174 and 175 in the upper half. Built ~ 193AD.
The bronze statue of Saint Paul that crowns the column was placed in 1589, by order of Pope Sixtus V.

It's cool to think that Marcus Aurelius really did exist and that he led the Roman empire at its peak, spending much of his rule warring with Germanic tribes in the north.
And it is equally cool to think that he really did have a son named Commodus who was infamous for his love of gladiatorial games and did, actually, take part in them.
Unfortunately that is about where the resemblance between "The Gladiator" and real life ends. But sometimes real life can be much more interesting:

Mark Aurel (* 26. April 121 in Rom als Marcus Annius Catilius Severus; † 17. März 180 in Vindobona oder Sirmium), auch Marc Aurel oder Marcus Aurelius, war von 161 bis 180 römischer Kaiser und als Philosoph der letzte bedeutende Vertreter der jüngeren Stoa.
Die drei kleinen "Warzen" an der Stirn und am Kinn der Büste wurden vom Bildhauer als Messpunkte genutzt.

Roman Emperor from 161 to his death in 180. He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and is also considered one of the most important Stoic philosophers. His work Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary triumph.

Marcus Aurelius (April 26, 121 - March 17, 180) was the last of the five "good" emperors of Rome and a major Stoic philosopher.
Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (born Marcus Annius Verus) reigned from from A.D. 161-180. As Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius followed Emperor Antoninus Pius (the husband of a paternal aunt of Marcus Aurelius) who had adopted Aurelius as heir. In 145, Marcus Aurelius married his cousin Faustina, the daughter of Antoninus Pius. Marcus Aurelius originally co-ruled with Lucius Aurelius Verus who commanded the eastern campaigns and died suddenly in 169.
The google translation: the head belongs to the latter type of portraits of Marcus Aurelius, Imperator 38. The facial features and details of the beard have been softened by an acid cleaning to eliminate the concretions due to the landfill. the head of Medusa, the candelabra, the griffins and the palmette on the breastplate, grow a date the rest of the statue of the Flavian dynasty

Faustina filia/minor (*AD 130? -†175/6), daughter of Antoninus Pius ∞ Faustina maior, wife of imperator Marcus Aurelius, mother of Lucilla Augusta and imperator Commodus; cf. also:
The sun appears to pour itself down and indeed its light pours in all directions, but the stream does not run out. This pouring is a linear extension: that is why the beams are called rays, because they radiate in extended lines. You can see what a ray is if you observe the sun’s light entering a dark room through a narrow opening. It’s extends in a straight line and impacts, so to speak, on any solid body in its path which blocks passage through the air on the other side: it settles there and does not slip off or fall.
