This is very detailed. Easy to see and I suggest spending some time looking at the detail.

The Column of Aurelius stands on the Piazza Colonna in Rome, The column with a spiral relief was built to honor the victories of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Extraordinary. It's a shame you can't see the relief up close.

Die Mark-Aurel-Säule in Rom ist ein beeindruckendes architektonisches Meisterwerk, das man unbedingt besuchen sollte, wenn man in der Nähe ist. Die Säule ist bekannt für ihre atemberaubenden Gravuren, die die Geschichte und Errungenschaften des römischen Kaisers Mark Aurel darstellen. Ein kurzer Stopp bei der Mark-Aurel-Säule lohnt sich definitiv, um die beeindruckende Handwerkskunst und historische Bedeutung dieses monumentalen Denkmals zu bewundern.
Daher 4,4 Sterne!!!

The Column of Marcus Aurelius, also known as Aurelian Column, is a remarkable ancient Roman monument.

An interesting fact about this column is that it is the only surviving ancient Roman column to have a spiral narrative relief that wraps around it. The intricate and detailed carvings on the column depict various scenes from Marcus Aurelius' military campaigns and triumphs.

The column stands at a height of about 30 meters (98 feet) and is made of Carrara marble. It serves as a testament to the military achievements and legacy of Marcus Aurelius, who was a Roman emperor and philosopher.
