Thursday Challenge—"broken"

Various parts of the head, arms, and legs
of the Colossus of Constantine (c. 280–387)
can be seen in the courtyard of the Capitoline
Museum in Rome.  Those body parts were
carved of marble; the rest had a brick core and
wooden framework (possibly clad in gilded 
bronze) that didn't survive +/- 17 centuries.  
Still, I'm grateful to be able to see 
what's left of this once-40-foot-tall statue.

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It was originally made almost 2,000 years ago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.
