Located outside of the Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums) in Rome, the replica, which sits in the center of the Piazza del Campidoglio served as a perfect centerpiece. From a ground level viewpoint looking upwards to the forward extended arm, I positioned myself to capture the high noon sun radiating through the hand..
Your life is what your thoughts make it.

If I remember correctly this is the hand of the Marcus Aurelius statue in the center of the Capitoline Hill piazza. It's a fake, the real one's kept inside the Capitoline museum, but the copy outside gets better light!

Marcus Aurelius
Coins depicting Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus shaking hands symbolize their joint rule as co-emperors of the Roman Empire. These coins often bear the inscription “CONCORD AVGVSTOR,” reflecting their harmonious partnership. Examples include sestertius and AE coins, which show the emperors facing each other and clasping hands, a representation of unity and shared power. These coins are valued for their historical significance and artistic representation of Roman imperial propaganda .

Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The Emperor Marcus Aurelius
Portraits of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius
(AD 161-180) were popular with collectors of the 18th and 19th centuries, who admired the combination of culture and power that he represented, as a philosopher as well as an emperor. In 1752 this portrait entered the collection of the Barberini family in Rome; later it was brought to England. The head and the draped bust did not belong together in ancient times, although both are ancient. The head was probably only attached to the bust in Rome, for display in the Palazzo Barberini.
Head: made in Alexandria about AD 161-180
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
