A close view shows the bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius being raised on a wooden scaffold from its pedestal on Rome's Piazza del Campidoglio, with the Capitoline facade behind and onlookers gathered nearby. The statue is the only large bronze equestrian monument to survive from antiquity, having escaped melting because it was long mistaken for a depiction of the Christian emperor Constantine. The footage documents the start of its removal, likely for protection during the Second World War.
