The headless bronze statue is believed to depict the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius.
An exhibit of 16th and 17th century body armor is on display July 5, 2015 at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. A headless bronze statue believed to depict the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius was ordered seized from the Cleveland Museum of Art by New York authorities investigating antiquities looted from Turkey.
A warrant signed by a judge in Manhattan on Aug. 14 ordered the seizure of the statue, which the museum acquired in 1986 and had been a highlight of its collection of ancient Roman art. The warrant was secured as part of an ongoing investigation into a smuggling network involving antiquities looted from Bubon in southwestern Turkey and trafficked through Manhattan, a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. No details of the investigation were provided.
The 76-inch statue dates from A.D. 180 to 200 and is worth $20 million, according to the district attorney’s office.An estimated $69 million upgrade will bring a museum and exhibits to the Lincoln Memorial. FOX 5 DC's Bob Barnard joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow with more details.
