Marcus Aurelius-kolonnen

Marcus Aurelius-kolonnen i Rom.

Marcus Aurelius-kolonnen är en kolonn belägen på Piazza Colonna i Rom. Monumentet är en imitation av Trajanuskolonnen.

Kolonnen, som är 39 meter hög, var ursprungligen en del av ett gravmonument rest 180 e.Kr. över den romerske kejsaren Marcus Aurelius. Den smyckas av en relief som löper i spiral runt kolonnskaftet och skildrar hans strider mot folken norr om Donau, som då hotade det romerska imperiet.

På grund av markhöjningen har en del av basen hamnat under jorden, och en ny bas gjordes 1587, samtidigt som påven Sixtus V lät placera en staty av aposteln Paulus på toppen, blickande i riktning mot Peterskyrkan. Platsen pryddes med en av Giacomo della Portas fontäner (1575).

The Column of Marcus Aurelius is a monument in Rome, erected between 176 and 192 to celebrate, perhaps after his death, the victories of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180) obtained on Germans and Sarmatians located north of the middle course of the Danube during the Marcomannic Wars. The column, which was 29.617 meters high (equal to 100 Roman feet; 42 meters if you also consider the base), is still in its original location in front of Palazzo Chigi and gives its name to the square in which it stands, Piazza Colonna. The monument, covered with bas-reliefs, is inspired by the Trajan's Column. The sculptural frieze that spirally rolls around the stem, if it were unwinded, would exceed 110 meters in length.
