Photo Hunt—"broken"


. . . but these remnants of a colossal statue of
Emperor Constantine still exude a sense of power.
It was originally made almost 2,000 years ago
 and these marble parts were discovered 
more than five decades ago. They were brought up 
to the Capitoline Hill by Michelangelo and 
remain there, in the courtyard of the Capitoline Museum.
