Marcus Aurelius
Brown's Marcus Aurelius statue is perhaps the most memorable piece of artwork on the entire campus. It stands atop of the hill on Lincoln Field, at the rear of Sayles Hall, facing Thayer Street through the Soldiers Memorial Gate. The statue was unveiled on June 1, 1908 by Robert Hale Ives Goddard on behalf of his deceased brother Moses Brown Ives Goddard.
The bronze statue is a copy of the famous Equestrian Statue located on Capitoline Hill in Rome. The northern pedestal's face is inscribed with "The Gift of Moses Brown Ives Goddard to Brown University MCMVII".
