The Capitoline, a treasure trove of ancient art and history, holds within its walls a collection that spans centuries. From the imposing Marcus Aurelius Statue, depicting the wise Roman Emperor on horseback, to the iconic Romulus and Remus sculpture symbolizing Rome's legendary founding tale, every piece tells a story. Amongst these masterpieces is the Bust of Cicero, capturing the essence of one of Rome's greatest orators and philosophers. Nearby stands the enigmatic Statue of Harpocrates, Greek god of silence, reminding visitors to listen before speaking. Euterpe, muse of music and lyric poetry holding a flute in her delicate hands, invites us to appreciate the beauty in sound. Meanwhile, Constantine the Great watches over it all as a testament to his reign as Roman Emperor from 306-337 AD. Venturing further into this captivating museum reveals unexpected treasures such as the haunting statue of Anubis (or Hermanubis), an Egyptian god guarding over souls in their journey beyond life. The marble figure known as Marphurius or Marforio represents Roman art at its finest while showcasing intricate details that transport us back in time. Greek influence also permeates through sculptures like Euripides' bust - an exquisite example of 5th-century BC Greek art. And there stands an unknown philosopher believed to be Zeno of Citium with his profound gaze inviting contemplation on life's mysteries. Homer himself makes an appearance through a copy bust honoring this legendary Greek epic poet whose words have echoed throughout history. Finally, we are transported outside Italy with glimpses into Brescia's Capitoline Temple from 73-74 BC – remnants that remind us how far-reaching Rome's influence truly was. In each corner and corridor lies another marvel waiting to be discovered at Capitoline Museum – where time has been preserved for all eternity through these magnificent works crafted by human hands but touched by the divine.
