Huge Sculpture

Capitoline Museums Rome Italy. Large. Huge. Colossal. It is fun coming across Colossus of Constantine Head, Hand and Foot done in Bronze and Marble. The courtyard of Palazzo dei Conservatori, which is one of the Capitoline Museums, has several remaining body parts from a 40 foot statue called Colossus of Constantine. Displayed alongside the head of Roman Emperor Constantine I is his right hand with its index finger pointed up in the classic “Number 1” position. Curiously, there is no left hand but two right hands. The marble sculpture dates back to 315 AD. The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius is an ancient Roman equestrian statue (175AD). It is made of bronze and stands 13.9 ft tall.
