AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful sculpture depicting the head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius from the second century AD. The work is crafted using ancient sculpting techniques in Carrara marble powder.
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 culminated the so-called Golden Age of the Roman Empire, reigning from 161 to 180 AD. His historical philosophical training allowed him to face a difficult realm, marked by invasions, epidemics, and the treachery of his generals. He carried out administrative reforms for the benefit of the most needy sectors of society. During the strenuous military campaigns, he wrote his philosophical work in Greek, Meditations.
The original piece is preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, Spain, in the ancient Roman city.
