5 Colossus of Constantine Marble Hand at Capitoline Museums in Rome, Italy

In the courtyard of Palazzo dei Conservatori, which is one of the Capitoline Museums, are a few remaining body parts from a 40 foot statue called Colossus of Constantine. Displayed alongside the head of Roman Emperor Constantine I is his right hand with its index finger pointed up in the classic “Number 1” position. Curiously, there is no left hand but two right hands. The marble sculpture dates back to 315 AD.
