Document Summary
Publically paced in the center of the piazza del campidoglio in. The roman antiquity of the equestrian statue marcus. Aurelius c. 176 ce, gilded bronze, a bright spot in human history. This statue was not placed on top of a temple but was. The statue has his hand raised as if to address his subjects. The vantage point of the sculpture, both from the piazza street view, and the current interior location, is from below the hooves of the horse. The message reads that this is a form of rule that is governed by competence as opposed to the rule by might. The eased yet firm control of the horse translates into the rule of his subjects. However, this piece is contravertial, as the culture of the roman empire was geared towards militaristic rule rather than that of. Competence or diplomacy as depicted in this sculpture.
