A | CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Museum of Art has sued New York City authorities over their seizure of a headless bronze statue believed to depict the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius.A warrant signed by a judge in Manhattan on Aug. 14 ordered the seizure of the statue, which the museum acquired in 1986 and had been a highlight of its collection of ancient Roman art. The museum argues in its suit that the statue was lawfully obtained and that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has no legal authority to seize it.The warrant was secured as part of an ongoing investigation into a smuggling network involving antiquities looted from Bubon in southwestern Turkey and trafficked through Manhattan, a spokesperson for Bragg has said. The 76-inch (1.9-meter) statue dates from A.D. 180 to 200 and is worth $20 million, according to the district attorney’s office. The suit filed Thursday asks a judge to declare that the museum is the rightful owner of the statue, which it calls “one of the most significant works in the (museum’s) collection” of some 61,000 objects. Museum officials have repeatedly told the district attorney that their evidence is insufficient and suggested other investigative avenues, according to the suit, but all have been refused.The museum said it also has consulted experts who cast “significant doubt” on the identification of the statue as Marcus Aurelius, noting the experts believe it’s more likely a statue of another Greek philosopher.A spokesman for Bragg said the office is reviewing the lawsuit and “will respond in court papers.” He also noted the office has successfully recovered more than 4,600 illegally traffic antiquities.Museum spokesman Todd Mesek said it does not discuss ongoing litigation but noted the museum takes provenance issues very seriously.The statue was removed from view earlier this year, and the museum changed the description of the piece on its website, where it calls the statue a “Draped Male Figure" instead of indicating a connection to Marcus Aurelius.Turkey first made claims about the statue in 2012 when it released a list of nearly two dozen objects in the Cleveland museum’s collection that it said had been looted from Bubon and other locations. Museum officials said at the time that Turkey had provided no hard evidence of looting.The Manhattan district attorney’s office has worked in recent years to repatriate hundreds of objects looted from countries including Turkey, Greece, Israel and Italy. It was unclear who might be targeted in the investigation of the statue seized in Cleveland.Marcus Aurelius ruled as Roman emperor from A.D. 161 to 180 and was a Stoic philosopher whose “Meditations” have been studied over the centuries.The seized statue shows a man in flowing robes holding one hand in front of him in a regal pose.。 北京8月10日电 题：搭建对外开放平台 激活服务贸易动能——2026年中国国际服务贸易交易会看点前瞻 记者乌梦达、吉宁、张骁 全球服务、互惠共享。还有一个月的时间，2026年中国国际服务贸易交易会将在北京开幕。 立足“十五五”开局之年，作为中国高水平对外开放的国家级重要平台，本届服贸会锚定服务贸易重点领域集中展成果、谋合作。各个专题板块、上百场论坛洽谈活动，将呈现哪些务实看点？承载展会的物理空间又有什么新变化？ 吸引全球关注更多 300多家国际龙头企业参展 记者了解到，本届服贸会主题展、专题展招展工作进入尾声。截至目前，英国、丹麦、巴西、澳大利亚、世界贸易中心协会、联合国粮农组织等近70个国家（地区）及国际组织确认设展参会，740余家企业及机构已有意向线下参展，其中包含300余家世界500强及行业龙头企业。 这是8月10日拍摄的首钢园区。记者 谢晗 摄 挪威驻华大使馆参赞、挪威创新署中国区负责人汉宁说，作为本届的主宾国，挪威计划在首钢园设立约260平方米的挪威国家馆，汇集海洋产业、海洋与动物营养、农业、能源、健康、数字服务等多个领域成果。 本届服贸会首次组织“出海服务推介路演”系列活动，目前已征集近40场，还首次设立“出海服务企业展区”，汇集金融、法律、会计、广告、人力资源等领域的30余家出海服务企业，提供一站式出海服务。 一大批创新成果、重磅活动将集中登场。
