La restituzione alla città delle vestigia della sua passata grandezza acquistava un più alto valore simbolico per la loro collocazione sul Campidoglio, centro della vita religiosa della Roma antica e sede delle magistrature civili cittadine a partire dal medioevo, dopo un lungo periodo di abbandono.

Le sculture furono in un primo tempo sistemate sulla facciata esterna e nel cortile del Palazzo dei Conservatori ed in breve il nucleo originario fu arricchito da successive acquisizioni di reperti provenienti dagli scavi urbani e strettamente collegati con la storia della Roma antica.
Alla metà del XVI secolo erano state collocate in Campidoglio, significative opere di scultura (tra le altre la statua di Ercole in bronzo dorato dal Foro Boario, i frammenti marmorei dell'acrolito di Costantino dalla Basilica di Massenzio, i tre pannelli a rilievo con le imprese di Marco Aurelio, il cd. Bruto Capitolino) ed importanti iscrizioni (tra cui i Fasti Capitolini, rinvenuti nel Foro Romano).

Le due colossali statue del Tevere e del Nilo, attualmente all'esterno del Palazzo Senatorio, furono trasferite negli stessi anni dal Quirinale, mentre la statua equestre di Marco Aurelio fu portata dal Laterano nel 1538 per volere del papa Paolo III.

Pope Sixtus IV solemnly giving to the people of Rome in 1471 some ancient bronze statues, already stored at the Lateran, to form the nucleus of the Capitoline Museums.
The return of the remains of the city's past greatness has an even higher symbolic value for their placement on the Capitol, the center of religious life of ancient Rome and seat of the city's civil courts since medieval times, after a long period of neglect. The sculptures were initially placed on the exterior facade and the courtyard of the Palace of the Conservatives and soon the original group was enriched by successive acquisitions of finds from excavations urban and closely linked with the history of ancient Rome.

The mid-sixteenth century they had been placed in the Capitol, significant works of sculpture (among others, the gilded bronze statue of Hercules in the Forum Boario, the marble fragments dell'acrolito of Constantine from the Basilica of Maxentius, the three panels in relief with the companies of Marcus Aurelius, the CD. Capitoline Brutus) and important inscriptions (including the Capitoline Fasti, found in the Roman Forum).

The two colossal statues of the Tiber and the Nile, which is currently outside the Senatorial Palace, were transferred in the same period of the Quirinale Palace, and the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius was led from the Lateran in 1538 by Pope Paul III.
