One of the Roman emperor's many duties was to serve as commander-in-chief of the Roman army. This portrait bust depicts Emperor Marcus Aurelius (reigned 161-80 CE) wearing full military dress: a tunic, body armor (cuirass), and a thick cloak pinned at the right shoulder known as a paludamentum.

 

Marcus Aurelius spent much of his reign defending the empire's increasingly unstable borders, yet he was also a devout follower of Stoicism, a Greek belief system that encouraged moderation, responsible behavior, and respect toward others. His personal writings, known as the Meditations, show that although he preferred a philosophical life, he accepted the challenges of the imperial office.

 

Roman, ca. 170-180 CE.

This building began as the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian. He began work here already in 125 A.D., and it was finished by his successor in 139, a year after the death of Hadrian. It was not just for Hadrian himself, but also his family, the buried here included his wife Sabina, Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Maior, Lucius Aelius Caesar, Commodus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna, Geta and Caracalla. Caracalla's burial in 217 A.D. is the last recorded one in the mausoleum.

 

In 401 it was turned into a fortress and got built into the Aurelian wall. When Alaric and the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 A.D. the place was looted and the urns taken away and the ashes scattered. And in 590 an angel is supposed to have appeared on the roof - where the bronze statue now can be found - given the place its current name.

 

The popes rebuilt the mausoleum/fortress several times, continuing to use it as a fortress, connected to St Peter through a covered fortified corridor and a lot of structural revisions were made in the 16th century making it a Roman/Renaissance crossover.

Weighing 3½ pounds and hammered from a single sheet of metal, this hollow gold bust was likely attached to a wooden structure that could be carried in ceremonial processions. The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (ruled AD 161-180) is identifiable from his many portraits in marble and on coins. He was a highly respected ruler, a noted Stoic philosopher and writer, and a successful general who spent the later years of his reign fighting Germanic tribes on the northern border of the empire. Here he wears a breastplate decorated with a winged head of the Gorgon Medusa (the aegis), symbolizing protection.

 

The round discolored area on his left shoulder, on top of a fold of his paludamentum (military cloak), is where a shield fibula (shield-shaped brooch) was once fastened, probably inlaid with precious stones.

 

The artistry of the work - the hairstyle, the large eyes, the forward-facing pose - seems to suggest that it may have been made by local Celtic craftsmen. However, that’s not certain.

 

The bust was found on April 19, 1939, in the drains below the ancient Cigognier sanctuary of Roman Aventicum (Aveches, Switzerland).

 

Roman (or Romano-Celtic), ca. 161-180 CE.

One of three relief panels from a triumphal arch which depict the exploits of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. The presumed monument is thought to be the lost Arch of Marcus Aurelius which was erected in the Forum Romanum in 176 CE to celebrate the emperor's victories over the Germanic peoples and the Sarmatians. In the 6th century CE, the arch seems to have been dismantled, and the reliefs were inserted into the walls of the church of S. Martina, which was erected in the forum on the ruins of the Secretarium Senatus, a hall of the Curia Julia, site of a penal tribunal (established in the 4th century CE). The reliefs were brought to the Palazzo dei Conservatori in 1515 on the orders of Pope Leo X and initially added to the walls of the courtyard. In 1572, they were moved to their current location in the wall of the staircase of the palace.

The exposed stone in the arch and turret are remnants of a Roman gate, known in 932 A.D. as Porta Aquarum, which had been part of the Roman legion camp, “Castra Regina,” the origin of Regensburg’s name. The turret was part of the East Tower of the Porta Praetoria. The camp had been started in 179 A.D. under Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The specific location of this gate had been forgotten during the High Middle Ages after being plastered over, but it was rediscovered during 1885-1887. Other parts of the original wall are visible beneath ground level. Remnant of Roman Wall, Porta Praetoria, Unter den Schwibbögen, Regensburg, Germany

There is no mention of the equestrian statue dedicated to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in ancient literary sources, but it was in all likelihood erected in 176 AD, along with numerous other honors on the occasion of his triumph over the Germanic tribes, or in 180 AD soon after his death. There were many equestrian statues in Rome at that time: late-Imperial descriptions of the areas of the city listed 22 such statues, called equi magni, that is larger-than-life-size, just like the monument to Marcus Aurelius. The latter statue, however, is the only one to have survived to the present, and by virtue of its integrity it soon assumed the symbolic value for all those who wished to present themselves as heirs to Imperial Rome. Its location in the Lateran is first recorded in the tenth century, but it is likely that it had been there from at least the end of the eighth century, when Charlemagne wanted to copy the layout of Campus Lateranensis when he transferred a similar equestrian statue, taken from Ravenna, to his palace in Aachen. In 1538 Pope Paul III ordered the Farnese family to have the statue moved to the Capitoline Hill, which had become the head quarters of the city's authorities in 1143. A year after its arrival, the Roman Senate commissioned Michelangelo to refurbish the statue. The great Florentine artist did not just limit himself to planning an appropriate site for the monument, but made in central element in the magnificent architectural complex known as the Piazza del Campidoglio.

This closeup reveals that parts of this statue have, actually, been robbed out over the last two millennia. The decorative phalerae on the bridle of the horse are missing, with its sockets exposed. We know from surviving examples that the round one would have had repoussé portraits of gods and/or emperors, and the rectangular one on the snout of the horse may have had an image of Victoria or a symbol of the emperor's authority.

This is not my typical style, but this statue of Marcus Aurelius outside the Musei Capitolini in Rome along with the dramatic sky called for vivid HDR. This is actually a replica, with the original (dating back to 175 AD) in the museum itself. Rome is full of amazing art.

Don't Worry, Bee Happy!

 

"LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain - grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

 

"What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bee."

~ Marcus Aurelius ~

 

This coin depicts the empress Faustina the Younger (Annia Galeria Faustina, known as Faustina Minor), wife of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, and daughter of the emperor Antonius Pius and the empress Faustina the Elder. She is in profile, facing right, and wearing her traditional hairstyle of scalloped curls around her face, with a braid wrapped around her head. An inscription reads: FAVSTINA AVG PII AUG FIL, which means "Faustina August, Daughter of Emperor (Augustus) Pius". The inscription served as a form of propaganda, linking the empress to her imperial father and promoting her position within the ruling family

 

The aureus was an ancient Roman gold coin, issued from around the 1st century BCE up to the 4th century CE. One aureus was worth 25 silver denarii. The denarius was a small silver coin and the principal silver coin issued in the ancient Roman currency system from the late 3rd century BCE until the early 3rd century CE.

 

The use of the portrait is the most persistent and usually the most striking feature of coins of the Roman Empire. Particularly during the first three centuries of the Empire's existence (27 BCE-284 CE) images of historically recorded (and some unrecorded) people appear on the majority of coins.

 

Roman coins acted as a vehicle for the quick and wide-reaching spread of propagandic images of Imperial power, at the centre of which was the embodiment of Rome and all that its Empire stood for, the Emperor himself. Roman coins survive in very large numbers and are frequently found right across Europe, reaching the furthest corners of the Empire.

Faustina the Younger

 

Annia Galeria Faustina Minor (Minor is Latin for the Younger), Faustina Minor or Faustina the Younger (born probably 21 September[1] c. 130 CE,[2] — 175/176 CE[3]) was a daughter of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and Roman Empress Faustina the Elder. She was a Roman Empress and wife to her maternal cousin Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. She was held in high esteem by soldiers and her own husband and was given divine honours after her death.

Each of the works exhibited in the Antalya Archeology Museum, which is considered one of the leading museums of not only Turkey, but also the world, is among the masterpieces of its kind. Undoubtedly the main source of this wealth is Antalya’s location which is one of the first places where human traces are seen in Anatolia, hosting the magnificent cities of Lycia, Roman and Byzantine civilizations and witnessing continuously the history of mankind. The Neanderthal skeleton fragments unearthed in Karain Cave, the magnificent sculptures found in Perga which is one of the sculpture production centers of the Antique Age, Elmalı coins which are called the ‘Treasure of the Century’, and the finds discovered during the excavations in the St. Nicholas Church, i.e. Santa Claus Church, are priceless. The Museum was selected as the ‘Museum of Year’ in 1988 by the European Council and received the ‘Excellence Award’ in 2016 thanks to its artifacts.

* Weary Heracles*

This piece, an AC-2nd-century copy of the sculpture made by Lysippos who is the famous sculptor of the 4th century BC, belongs to Perga ancient city, known for sculpturing. The lower part the sculpture was found during the excavations in 1980, whereas the upper part, which was illegally smuggled abroad, was brought back to its homeland in 2011 and the two parts were combined. It depicts Heracles leaning on his club after beating the Nemean lion which was impervious to all weapons. Although there are 60 copies of this sculpture, known as ‘Heracles Farnese’ from the Roman Period, the specimen exhibited in the Antalya Archaeological Museum is considered to be superior to others in terms of workmanship.

Emperors’ Hall

The sculptures of Roman emperors, all of which were found during excavations in the ancient city of Perga, are among the masterpieces of Roman art. The Dancer Sculpture, which is a symbol of Antalya Museum, is exhibited here besides the emperor sculptures. This sculpture, which was assembled after being discovered in pieces, is one of the most admired works of the Museum with its monumentality and fine details and vitality.

Sarcophagi Hall

Sarcophagi in which important and wealthy people in general were placed after death in the Antique Age are also the works that reflect their understanding of art. A few floral motifs and also some very complex figures are used in the decoration on these sarcophagi. Most of the sarcophagi that can be seen in the Sarcophagi Hall belong to the ancient city of Perga. The most popular ones are the Sarcophagus of Domitias belonging to a married couple apparently not separated after death, the Heracles Sarcophagus depicting the 12 tasks of Heracles, and the Garland Sarcophagus decorated with floral motifs.

Hall of Coin, Small Artifacts and Icons

The most significant parts of this part of the Museum are ‘Elmalı Coins’ which are called the ‘Treasure of the Century’. The most precious pieces that make this collection valuable, including coins issued by the cities comprising the union against the Persians, are monumental coins, which are very rare all over the world, issued when the Greeks defeated the Persians. In the hall, you can see the coins of all civilizations in Antalya’s rich history, finds unearthed in shipwrecks, jewelry and icons, as well as the Anatolian coin minting tradition and techniques.

Statue of Marcus Aurelius - 161-180 AD. Marcus Aurelius, was Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 CE. He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161 until Verus' death in 169.

 

Bardo Museum contains a major collection of Roman mosaics and other antiquities of interest from Ancient Greece, Tunisia, and from the Islamic period.

 

The museum was being renovated and we mainly got to see many mosaics, some of the best in the world.

Artist: Giovanni Paolo Panini, 1735

Title: Roman Capriccio: The Pantheon and Other Monuments

Type: Oil painting on canvas

Venue: Indianapolis Museum of Art

 

I recognize those images. In the middle is the Washington Monument, and over there is the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the statue of General George Washington on his horse. Darn, did some doggone protester paint over his horse?

 

This is actually a mix of the real and imagined in Rome. There is a statue of a man about to stab another. That must be Senator Brutus, the Patrician-lover, stabbing dictator-for-life Julius Caesar, the Plebeian-lover and populist.

Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius.

  

Marcus Aurelius, the much quoted Roman emperor and stoic philosopher, ruled the Roman Empire from 161 to 180 CE (for part of that time he ruled jointly with his brother). The inscribed quotation comes from Book Four of his Meditations. The words are part of a slightly longer passage, more of which is quoted below:

 

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

 

—from Book Four of the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

Statue of Marcus Aurelius

The pot containing this hoard of 160 gold coins was uncovered in 1911. Many coins of the Emperors Trajan and Hadrian can be seen here, with others of Vespasian, Antoninus Pius, Faustina and the latest in the hoard, Marcus Aurelius as Caesar (139-161).

 

Corbridge is in Hadrian's Wall territory, anciently called variously Coriosopitum, Corsopitum or simply Coria.

The column was made sometime before 193 A.D. in honour of the emperor Marcus Aurelius (either on order from him himself, or after his death in 180 A.D.) The Latin name for it is Columna Centenaria Divorum Marci et Faustinae and the Italian Colonna di Marco Aurelio. The column is made of 27-28 blocks of Carrara marble and depicts emperor Marcus Aurelius Marcomannic Wars, by the Romans called bellum Germanicum which took place from 166 to 180 (when the emperor died). It now stands in Piazza Colonna, a square named after the column, in front of Palazzo Chigi. Originally the statue on the top of the column depicted the emperor, but it was later lost and in the 16th century it was replaced by a bronze statue of the apostle St Paul.

This was originally called Pons Aelius (Aelian Bridge) built in 134 A.D. by emperor Hadrian to connect the city and his mausoleum, supposedly by the architect Demetrian. It was later also referred to as pons Sancti Petri (the bridge of St Peter) because pilgrims used it to get to the St Peter's basilica. And in the early 7th century it was given the official name of Sant'Angelo, to match the name-change of the mausoleum to Castel Sant'Angelo.

 

In the 15th century the bridge was used to display the bodies of executed criminals.

 

The angels now adorning the bridge were commissioned in 1669 by pope Clement IX and made by students of Bernini under his directions.

 

This building began as the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian. He began work here already in 125 A.D., and it was finished by his successor in 139, a year after the death of Hadrian. It was not just for Hadrian himself, but also his family, the buried here included his wife Sabina, Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Maior, Lucius Aelius Caesar, Commodus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna, Geta and Caracalla.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.

    

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).

  

With visits now in excess of 18.489 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.
