A black-and-white photograph captures a bas-relief depicting Marcus Aurelius granting peace to the Germans, originally part of his triumphal arch. The relief is photographed within the Palazzo dei Conservatori on Rome’s Capitoline Hill. Produced between 1864 and 1879 under John Henry Parker’s direction, the image is one of over 3,300 documenting Rome’s classical and later monuments for Parker’s *Archaeology of Rome* series. The photograph is held in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection of Parker’s works completed before 1870.
