The headless bronze artefact was acquired by Cleveland Museum of Art in 1986.
A headless bronze statue believed to depict the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius has been seized from the Cleveland Museum of Art by New York authorities investigating antiquities looted from Turkey.
The 76in statue dates from 180 to 200 AD and is worth 20 million dollars , according to the district attorney’s office. In an emailed statement, Ms Boz said the seizure “provides a strong sense of hope, long-awaited, for the rectification of a willing wrongdoing”.
