## Image Caption

From the [Column of Marcus Aurelius](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/647/the-column-of-marcus-aurelius/) and Faustina in Piazza Colonna, [Rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/). The [column](https://www.worldhistory.org/column/) was erected in c. 180 CE and depicts in relief [sculpture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Sculpture/) the emperor's campaigns across the Danube between 172 and 175 CE. In this detail the [Roman Army](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Army/) crosses the Danube into barbarian territory over a pontoon bridge, probably in 172 CE.
