Summary

Description
Italiano: La Colonna di Marco Aurelio è un monumento di Roma, eretto tra il 176 e il 192 per celebrare, forse dopo la sua morte, le vittorie dell'imperatore romano Marco Aurelio (161-180) ottenute su Germani e Sarmati stanziati a nord del medio corso del Danubio durante le Guerre marcomanniche.

La colonna, che era alta 29,617 metri (pari a 100 piedi romani; 42 metri se si considera anche la base), è ancora nella sua collocazione originale davanti a Palazzo Chigi e dà il nome alla piazza nella quale sorge, piazza Colonna.

Il monumento, coperto di bassorilievi, è ispirato alla Colonna Traiana. Il fregio scultoreo che si arrotola a spirale intorno al fusto, se fosse svolto, supererebbe i 110 metri in lunghezza.
=======================
English: 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.
