AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful sculpture depicting the head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius from the second century AD. The work is created with ancient sculpting techniques in Carrara marble powder.
The piece was found in the ancient Roman city of Tarraco (Tarragona, today in Spain). This head represents the emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Successor of Antoninus Pius, his tenure culminates in the so-called Golden Age of the Roman Empire, ruling between the years 161–180 AD. His historical philosophical education allowed him to face a difficult realm, marked by invasions, epidemics, and betrayals by his generals. He carried out administrative reforms for the benefit of the most needy sectors of society. During the arduous military campaigns, he wrote his philosophical work in Greek, 'Meditations'.
The original piece is kept at the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, in Spain, in the ancient Roman city.
