The Column of Marcus Aurelius 🌍

The Column of Marcus Aurelius and Faustina which stands in Piazza Colonna in Rome is thought to have been erected by Commodus in memory of his father and mother sometime around 180 CE.

The column was inspired by its more famous predecessor Trajan's Column which was set up, also in Rome, in 113 CE.
