AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful sculpture depicting the head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius of the second century AD. The piece is made using ancient sculpting techniques in Carrara marble powder.
The work 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, he presided over the so-called Golden Age of the Roman Empire, ruling from 161–180 AD. His historical philosophical education enabled him to confront a difficult realm, marked by invasions, epidemics, and betrayals by his generals. He carried out administrative reforms for the benefit of the segments of society most in need. During the harsh military campaigns, he wrote his philosophical work in Greek, “Meditations.”
The original piece is kept at the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, in Spain, the ancient Roman city.
The indicated dimensions are understood to include the base, if present.
A fast and secure shipment with tracking code is guaranteed. Shipping and packing are entrusted to a company (professional packaging).
