The Equestrian of Marcus Aurelius
As the equestrian stature had become the sample for many successive heroic memorials, it is necessary that such a meaningful statue would influence the passionate artists of the generations that followed the Roman civilization.

Another possibility is that he may have also been motivated by the Greek horses on top of the Venetian Church of St Mark's, as the Greek and the Roman civilizations shared the same iconography of depicting horses as an image of courage and honor.
