Copy of the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius outside the Capitoline Museums.
Large bronze sculptures from antiquity are exceptionally rare but the Capitoline Museums have some of the finest on display in Rome. The original Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius (2nd century AD) probably survived as he was confused with an apostle giving a blessing — seeing the original inside the museum suddenly makes the copy in the piazza less impressive.
The Capitoline Museums complex (Musei Capitolini) in Rome has one of the finest collections of sculptures, statues, and archaeological finds from antiquity in the world, in addition to paintings and art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. Top highlights are very rare large Roman bronze sculptures such as the original equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Boy with a Thorn, and the Capitoline She-Wolf (and the much more recent Romulus and Remus). The paintings collection includes works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other European masters. Although the museum is rarely overcrowded, buying tickets online saves time.

Equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. 'This statue was preserved during the Middle Ages because it was revered as a statue of Constantine, considered the first Christian emperor. More than twenty bronze equestrian statues of various emperors and generals had apparently existed at the end of the imperial period but they had been melted down for their valuable metal (as well as for the fact that they represented pagan leaders).'--see [www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/italy/rome/marcusaurelius/marcusaurelius.html]
