Antalya’da bulunan Aspendos Tiyatrosu, Roma İmparatoru Marcus Aurelius döneminde (M.S. 161–180) mimar Zenon tarafından yapıldı. Anadolu’da sahne binası ayakta kalmış tek Roma tiyatrosu olan yapı, konumlandığı dik yamacın eğimi sayesinde akustik özellikleri açısından üstünlük gösterir. Selçuklu Türklerinin bölgede hâkimiyet kurmasının ardından restore edilerek kervansaray olarak kullanılmıştır. 1930’da yöreyi ziyaret eden Atatürk, uzun süre ihmal edilmiş olan tiyatronun onarılıp yeniden kültürel faaliyetlere açılmasını istemiştir. Günümüzde Aspendos, tiyatro oyunlarının yanı sıra opera, konser ve festivallere ev sahipliği yapmaktadır.

Marc Aurel war römischer Kaiser von 161 - 180 und letzter bedeutender Vertreter der jüngeren Stoa. Die von ihm verfassten "Selbstbetrachtungen" gehören zur Weltliteratur und Marc Aurel wird wegen diesem Werk allgemein als der "Philosophenkaiser" bezeichnet.
Der im 15. Jh. begonnene Palast wurde im späten 16. Jh. von Kardinal Marco Sittico Altemps (Markus Sittich von Hohenems) und seinen Erben vollendet. Er ist heute Teil des Museo Nazionale Romano und beherbergt Skulpturen vor allem aus den Sammlungen Ludovisi, Altemps und Mattei, außerdem einige ägyptische Objekte. Die Aufstellungsmethode entspricht der im 16. Jh. zu Zeiten des Kardinals Altemps üblichen.

This representation in bronze of the archangel Michael was made in 1753 by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, and is placed on top of the building. It replaced an earlier piece, to be seen in a courtyard of the fortress, made by Raffaello da Montelupo.
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.

Roman sculpture, 140 - 150 C.E.
marble
As a young man, Marcus Aurelius was adopted as emperor Antonius Pius's chosen successor. This portrait depicts Marcus as a youthful prince, with the first traces of a beard and a head of rich curls. The imposing nude torso gives him an imposing appearance, enhanced by the military cloak draped draped around his shoulders and the sword and scepter he holds.
Emperor from 160 - 181 C.E., Marcus spent much of his reign confronting invasions on the northern and eastern frontiers of the Empire.He also wrote a collection of philosophical reflections known as "Meditations".
The statue was found in a villa near Rome in 1771 by the Scottish antiquarian and art dealer Gavin Hamilton. Hamilton sold it first to the Marquess of Landsdowne, who assembled a large collection of Greek and roman sculpture at his house in London.
The statue was restored from several fragments in the late 1700's. According to Hamilton's correspondence, the head was found near the body. Scholars disagree whether or not the head belonged to the statue in antiquity.
Found built into the Late Roman/Byzantine city walls of Palaiokastro near Kessaria/Kaisareia, probably originally from Aiani.
Stele for Marcus Aurelius (reigned 161-180 CE), Inv. 87.

This is the National Archeological Museum of Naples.
It was our first stop of the day in Naples.
The Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) is a museum in Naples, southern Italy, at the northwest corner of the original Greek wall of the city of Neapolis. The museum contains a large collection of Roman artifacts from Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum. The collection includes works of the highest quality produced in Greek, Roman and Renaissance times. It is the most important Italian archaeological museum.
Charles III of Spain founded the museum in the 1750s. The building he used for it had been erected as a cavalry barracks and during its time as the seat of the University of Naples (from 1616 to 1777) was extended, in the late 18th century.

From the main corridor we turned right into a section with loads of Roman statues in a least three galleries on the ground floor.
Cuirassed figure with an unrelated head of Marcus Aurelius
Body: Claudian era (AD 41-54): head AD 160-170
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. Although the emperor is mounted, it exhibits many similarities to standing statues of Augustus. 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 in the Palazzo.
Description:
The overall theme is one of power and divine grandeur — the emperor is over life-size and is holding out his hand in a gesture much like that in the Augustus' portraits. In this case the gesture may also signify clemency as some historians assert that a fallen enemy may have been sculpted begging for mercy under the horse's raised hoof (based on accounts from medieval times which suggest that a small figure of a bound barbarian chieftain once crouched underneath the horse's front right leg). Such an image was meant to portray the Emperor as victorious and all-conquering. However, shown without weapons or armor, Marcus Aurelius seems to be a bringer of peace rather than a military hero, for this is how he saw himself and his reign.
The statue was erected in 176 AD, though its original location is debated.
Although there were many equestrian imperial statues, they rarely survived because it was practice to melt down bronze statues for reuse as coin or new sculptures in the late empire, following Rome's conversion to Christianity (to make new statues for the new Christian churches). Statues were also destroyed because medieval Christians thought that they were pagan idols. The statue of Marcus Aurelius was not melted down because in the Middle Ages it was incorrectly thought to portray the first Christian Emperor Constantine. Indeed, it is the only fully surviving bronze statue of a pre-Christian Roman emperor.
