This portrait bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (c. 180) shows him in military attire, with a thoughtful gaze. The breastplate features a Gorgoneion (Medusa's head), highlighting his imperial authority and the protective symbolism of divine justice. Marcus Aurelius is known for his Stoic philosophy, which influenced his leadership and governance.
