Sculpture, Testa di Marco Aurelio - 33 cm - marble powder

Beautiful sculpture depicting the head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius from the second century AD. Work made with ancient sculptural techniques in Carrara marble powder. Discovered in the ancient Roman city of Tarraco (Tarragona, today in Spain). This head represents the emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Successor of Antoninus Pius, it culminates the so-called Golden Age of the Roman Empire, in power from 161-180 AD. His historical philosophical education allowed him to face a difficult realm, marked by invasions, epidemics and the betrayals of his generals. He carried out administrative reforms benefiting the most needy sectors of society. During the arduous 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. The indicated dimensions are understood to include the base, if present. A fast and secure shipping is guaranteed with a tracking code.
