Description
View of equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. "Scholars have speculated that a barbarian enemy was once cowering beneath the horse's raised foreleg suing for mercy. Thus the raised right arm, in addition to being a greeting, could also signify the emperor's clemency. Although he seems to be a military figure, in a tunic and short cloak, he wears no armor and carries no weapon,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
