In the 8th century it stood in the Campus Lateranensis, to the east of the Lateran Palace in Rome, sitting on a pedestal that was later provided by Sixtus IV.[7] Its placement next to the Lateran Palace was due the fact that this site used to contain the house of Marcus Aurelius's grandfather Marcus Annius Verus, which was where the Emperor's birth and early education took place.[8] From here it was relocated in 1538, by order of Pope Paul III to remove it from the main traffic of the square.[7] It was moved to the Piazza del Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) during Michelangelo's redesign of the Hill.
