@big_g.money: A Roman emperor. Covered in gold. Hidden in a sewer for centuries. This incredible 1,800-year-old gilded bronze bust depicts Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor who ruled Rome from AD 161–180. Discovered in Switzerland in 1965, it survived when countless ancient bronze sculptures were melted down or destroyed. Marcus Aurelius wrote Meditations, one of the most influential works of Stoic philosophy. Filmed at the Getty Villa in Malibu, California. Would you believe something this extraordinary survived in a sewer? #AncientRome #MarcusAurelius #HistoryTok #ArtHistory #gettyvilla
