Now in the Vatican Museum collection, this full figure sculpture (c. AD 15) of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, was originally found in Primaporta, Italy at Livia's (his wife) summer home. It is representative of idealized Roman portraiture typically identified with Roman leadership. As Augustus raises his arm and addresses his troops, a small cupid tugs at his leg thereby symbolically aligning him with the Roman gods. Made from bonded white marble, black marble base, metal shaft which he holds, imported from Italy, 16.25"H x 10"W x 4.5"D.
