The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius is an ancient Roman statue in the Campidoglio, Rome, Italy. It is made of bronze and stands 3.5 m tall. The original is on display in the Palazzo Nuovo, with the one now standing in the open air of the Piazza del Campidoglio being a replica made in 1981 when the original was taken down for restoration.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. ~ Marcusaurelius

Now the Capitoline museum, this is the civic center of Rome, past and present. Known as an axis mundi, the Capitoline has traditionally been seen as the center of the Roman Empire and, consequently, the world. Michelangelo redesigned the piazza c. 1435, including the ovaline pattern of paving stones which slope upward to the center; the building seen here, the identical facade of the building behind me, and the facade of the primary building to the right. At the center, an ancient equestrian bronze of Marcus Aurelius. Originally thought to be Constantine, Augustus or even a folk hero, the identity of the bronze was finally worked out by humanist scholars in 1410. However, the sculpture pictured here is actually a copy (after a copy which exists at Brown University, actually) as the original is being preserved in a museum.
