The philosopher emperor, Marcus Aurelius. 2nd Century guilded bronze, equestrian statue now in the Capitoline Museum, Rome with a copy outside in the square.
Trajan's column was such a hit that this one was built to commemorate the military achievements of Marcus Aurellius.
Built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) 121-180, Roman emperor (r.161-180).
The theatre was periodically repaired by the Seljuqs, who used it as a caravanserai, and in the 13th century the stage building was converted into a palace by the Seljuqs of Rum.

Patrons: A(ulus) Curtius Crispinus Arrun[tianus & Curtius Auspicatu]s Titinnianus, two rich brothers.

La tete appartient au dernier type des portraits de Marc Aurele, Imperatori 38. Les traits du visage et les details de la barbe ont ete amollis par un nettoyage a l'acide pour eliminer les concretions dues a l'enfouissement. La tete de Meduse (gorgoneion), le candelabre, les griffons et la palmete, sur la cuirasse, poussent a dater le rest de la statue de la dynatie flavienne (69-96)
Piazza Campidoglio designed by Michalangelo Buonarroti, Rome, Italy. Reorganization of Piazza del Campidoglio began in 1539 by Pope Paul III. Palazzo Senatorio on the background is now the seat of the city council's administrative offices and one of the Capitoline Museums is visible to the right of "cordonata" (see previous slide). The center of the square is occupied by the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius (barely seen in this photo).
Made around 175 AD of gilded bronze.
The only Roman equestrian statue to survive to the present. Most were melted down for their bronze, but this one escaped since it was misidentified as Constantine, the first Christian emperor.
In 1538 it was moved to the Piazza del Campidoglio, which Michelangelo designed around it.
For preservation reasons, it was moved inside in 1981 and replaced with a copy.

Base of the Column of Antoninus Pius, dating to 161 C.E. The co-emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, the successors of Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-61), set up a column to honor the deified Antoninus. The right side records the funerary decursio, a ceremony performed by the Roman cavalry. The left side shows the ascent of the emperor and his wife Faustina to Heaven (Apotheosis). The column itself has not been preserved. A winged genius (or sometimes identified as Aion, Eternity) carries the royal couple to Heaven. The Emperor holds a sceptre crowned with an eagle. Eagles also accompany their ascent. The personified figure (left) holding the obelisk represents the Campus Martius. Augustus had placed the obelisk there as a sun dial and it was the site of the ritual of the imperial deification. The personified female figure represents Rome. Roma's shield depicts the legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus suckled by a wolf. She seems to salute the royal couple.
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.
Marble busts of the co-emperors who ruled from 161 to 169 when, upon the death of Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius continued until 180.
