How many replicas are there of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius?
There is only one known Replica of the Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, the one in the Piazza del Campidoglio, a square created on the Capitoline Hill by Michelangelo when he redesigned this hill. The original is now in the Capitoline museum. This statue is one of the very few which have survived. Statues of the Classical period were usually melted down to reuse the bronze to make coins or the build new statues in late antiquity. Statues of emperors were also destroyed by Christians in the Middle Ages because they saw them as portraying pagan idols. The statue of Marcus Aurelius was spared because it was thought that it was thought that it was a statue of Constantine I, the first Christian emperor. It was placed in the Lateran Palace, the original residence of the Popes, in the 8th century. It was moved to the Capitoline Hill in 1538. It is now in a museum to protect it from pollution and the statue in the square is a replica.

In the 8th century it was kept in the Lateran palace, which back then was the residence of the popes.
