The first reliable reference to this statue was when Pope Clement III was described as 'causing a bronze horse to be made' in 1187, for the embellishment of the Lateran Palace. This almost definitely refers to the Marcus Aurelius which is recorded as being in front of the palace from this period onwards. The statue is unusual in that it survived from antiquity unburied.
