book detailing the column of Marcus Aurelius? - LCorneliusScaeva - 05-01-2008
Does anyone know of a book that has photographs of the scenes on the column of Marcus Aurelius? I know of books about Trajan's column and want to know if there is a comparable one about Marcus Aurelius' column.
Thanks

Ave Scaeva !
I know of no books that have many photographs of the MA column. But one would think there is one written in Italian at the very least. Maybe our Italian members can comment on this.
Do you know about this website that has very high resolution photos of the MA column ?

Hope it helps you in the meantime.

John Scheid and Valérie Huet, La colonne Aurélienne: autour de la colonne Aurélienne (2000)
C. Caprino, et al., La colonna di Marco Aurelio (1955)
What you really want to see is E. Petersen, et al., Die Marcus-säule auf Piazza Colonna in Rom (1896), showing the reliefs before the damage caused by modern pollution. The two enormous volumes of plates are almost as big as the column!
Quite a few of the more interesting reliefs from Die Marcus-säule are reproduced in A.R. Birley, Marcus Aurelius: A Biography (rev. ed. 1987).

Thanks for these book titles. I've found the first one for sale online. Any idea where I could find E. Petersen, et al volumes? Are these the sort of things you only find in major libraries?
Thanks.
