Roman emperor statue seized from Cleveland Museum of Art in smuggling investigation

A Roman-era statue, thought to represent Marcus Aurelius, stands in a gallery at the Cleveland Museum of Art on June 25, 2010.

The headless statue is believed to depict Marcus Aurelius. The investigation into its origins comes over a decade after Turkey claimed that 21 objects at the museum were linked to an illicit trade.
