Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius

This statue of marcus Aurelius is a focal point of the Campidoglio. The statue in the square today is a replica, and the original, the oldest surviving equestrian statue, is displayed in the Capitoline Museums. Legend has it that if the gold gilding on the bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius completely reappears, it will signal the end of Rome and the end of the world.
