AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful sculpture depicting the head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, from the second century AD. Made using ancient sculpting techniques with Carrara marble powder.
The work was found in the ancient Roman city of Tarraco (today Tarragona, Spain). This head represents the emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius. The successor of Antoninus Pius, he brought the so-called golden age of the Roman Empire to its height, reigning from 161 to 180 AD. His education in philosophy and history enabled him to face a difficult reign marked by invasions, epidemics, and the betrayals of his generals. He carried out administrative reforms to benefit the most disadvantaged sectors of society. During his harsh military campaigns, he wrote his philosophical work in Greek, “Meditations.”
The original piece is held at the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, Spain, in the ancient Roman city.
The stated dimensions include the base, if present.
