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.

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.

From Cyrene, North Africa

Marcus Aurelius (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus) was Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180.
He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161 until Verus' death in 169. He was the last of the "Five Good Emperors", and is also considered one of the most important Stoic philosophers.
During his reign, the Empire defeated a revitalized Parthian Empire; Aurelius' general Avidius Cassius sacked the capital Ctesiphon in 164. Aurelius fought the Marcomanni, Quadi, and Sarmatians with success during the Marcomannic Wars, but the threat of the Germanic tribes began to represent a troubling reality for the Empire. A revolt in the East led by Avidius Cassius failed to gain momentum and was suppressed immediately.
Marcus Aurelius' Stoic tome Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a philosophy of service and duty, describing how to find and preserve equanimity in the midst of conflict by following nature as a source of guidance and inspiration.

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.

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.

An image of a rain god on the Column of Marcus Aurelius. A sudden downpour saves thirsty and outnumbered Roman soldiers and turns the tide of battle in favor of the Roman army.
Rome; dedication date of the column is ca. 180 CE.
The scene is apparently in reference to the war against the Quadi in 174 CE:
"Through his prayers [Marcus Aurelius] called forth a thunderbolt from heaven against the enemy's war-machine, and also summoned welcome rain for his soldiers who were suffering from thirst (fulmen de caelo precibus suis contra hostium machinamentum extorsit, suis pluvia impetrata cum siti laborarent)."
(S.H.A. Marcus Aurelius 24.4). See also Dio 71.8-10.
