Abstract

The paper traces the complex history of the equestrian monument of Marcus Aurelius from its creation to its placement on the Capitolium Square (Piazza del Campidoglio) and modern times. Through the examination of historical sources it illuminates the circumstances under which the grandiose gilded bronze sculpture, larger-than-life-size, has always captured the attention and aroused the interest of the residents and visitors of Rome.
