U.S. authorities have confiscated a headless statue believed to represent the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius from a renowned museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The bronze artifact, with an estimated age of 1,800 years and a staggering valuation of approximately $20 million (£16 million), was taken earlier this month by investigators from New York. They are investigating allegations that the statue was illicitly acquired in the 1960s from Bubon, a region in southern Turkey. The 76-inch (1.9-meter) statue, a long-standing attraction at the Cleveland Museum of Art, has captured the fascination of art enthusiasts in Ohio for nearly 40 years. Distinguished for its portrayal of the eminent statesman and philosopher clad in a flowing robe, the sculpture has remained a prominent fixture until recent developments cast doubt on its origins. The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper reports that the museum's website had hitherto identified the statue as "The Emperor as Philosopher, probably Marcus Aurelius (reigned AD 161-180)." However, a few weeks ago, the description was altered to characterize it as a "Draped Male Figure, c 150 BCE-200 CE," possibly of Greek or Roman descent. The museum said in a statement released on Thursday that it takes matters of provenance seriously and “evaluates such claims with diligence and responsibility”. They added that they believe, "That public discussion before a resolution is reached detracts from the free and open dialogue between the relevant parties that leads to the best result for all concerned". Details surrounding the seizure remain undisclosed, while New York investigators have remained tight-lipped other than to indicate the seizure is related to an, "ongoing criminal investigation into a smuggling network involving antiquities looted from Turkey and trafficked through Manhattan". Turkish officials initially claimed the Marcus Aurelius statue in 2012, publishing a list of nearly two dozen items that were purportedly stolen from Bubon. In 2018, fragments of an ancient mosaic depicting a young girl were returned after spending years at Ohio's Bowling Green State University.
