The 30m (100ft) column of Marcus Aurelius was built between AD 180 and 196 to commemorate the victories on the battlefield of that most intellectual of Roman emperors.

This has to be the most ornate column in Rome - although it copies the idea of Trajan's column - and recounts his wars across the Danube.

Empire's era landmark away from the forums. Don't miss it while being too excited with the shopping!

Başbakanlık binası bu meydanda olduğundan genelde polisler tarafından kapalı tutuluyor. Sütun muhteşem detaylarıyla çok görkemli. Dike kolay 2000 yıl önceki zaferleri anlatıyor. Traianus un kopyası.

Lo más espectacular de toda la plaza. El grabado de la columna es fantástico. Pobre que no se aprecia al pobre Marco Aurelio tan arriba
