When the statue on this column was replaced by St. Paul in 1562, the architect reparied the base and when carving the inscription, mistakenly attributed it to Antoninus Pius. It is the Column of Marcus Aurelius his adopted son and successor.
Luigi Rossini was a master engraver who produced over one thousand plates of buildings, ruins, gardens and monuments. His career coincided with a period of great archeological activity. His etchings of Rome followed Piranesi\'s example, and reported the latest excavations to an avidly interested European audience. In turn, as they were carried home by Northern Europeans on the Grand Tour, the etchings fuelled worldwide interest in classical architecture.
