EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical richness of Piazza Colonna in Rome, Italy, as it appeared in 1905. At the heart of the square stands the majestic Column of Marcus Aurelius, a decorated pillar adorned with intricate sculptures and intriguing reliefs. Dedicated to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and his co-ruler Lucius Verus, the column was erected around 180 AD to commemorate their military victories. The column, which is made of Travertine and Parian marble, is a marvel of ancient Roman engineering and artistry. It features a spiral staircase within, which was used as a lookout point during the Middle Ages. The upper portion of the column is crowned with a statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback, while the lower part is decorated with scenes from the emperor's campaigns against the Parthians and the Germanic tribes. The square, which takes its name from the column, is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. The photograph shows the column surrounded by the charming architecture of the surrounding buildings, as well as the quaint street lamps and lanterns that illuminate the square in the evening hours. The bustling scene is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome and its rich history, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
