Marc Anton Gruppe, Vienna, Bronze monument near Secession building, Vienna, Austria

The Marc Anton Gruppe features Mark Antony standing in a chariot pulled by lions, created in bronze by sculptor Arthur Strasser.

The monument was commissioned for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition after Strasser's smaller model won the Reichel Prize in 1896.

The sculpture represents Mark Antony wearing a tunic and toga, reflecting the artistic interpretation of Roman history in late 19th century Vienna.

Located on Friedrichstrasse next to the Secession building, the monument stands on an elevated pedestal following its 2005 restoration.

The monument earned the nickname 'Lion Coachman' due to its depiction of Mark Antony's chariot being drawn by lions.
