'In addition to being a successful military commander, Marcus Aurelius was also a philosopher, indicated by his full beard (a fashion inaugurated by Hadrian to signify intellect) and his curly hair.'--see [www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/italy/rome/marcusaurelius/marcusaurelius.html]

That's not Marcus, but St. Paul on the top - a later addition. The column itself dates to around 193 AD.
The Column of Marcus Aurelius is a Roman victory column in Piazza Colonna, Rome, Italy. It is a Doric column featuring a spiral relief: it was built in honour of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and modeled on Trajan's Column.

Annia Galeria Faustina, the Elder (Faustina I or Faustina Major) c.100-140, was a Roman empress and wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius (r.138-161). The emperor Marcus Aurelius (r.161-180) was her nephew and later became her adopted son, along with Emperor Lucius Verus (r.161-169 with Marcus Aurelius). She died early in the principate of Antoninus Pius, but continued to be prominently commemorated as a diva, posthumously playing a prominent symbolic role during his reign.
