The Augustus of Prima Porta is a famous marble statue of the Roman Emperor Augustus (born Gaius Octavius) that dates back to the early 1st century CE. It is considered one of the most iconic and well-preserved sculptures from ancient Rome. Here are some key details about the statue:

1. **Location:** The statue was discovered in 1863 in the villa of Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus, at Prima Porta, a suburb of Rome. It is currently displayed in the Vatican Museums in Vatican City.

2. **Artist:** The sculptor responsible for creating the Augustus of Prima Porta is believed to have been a Greek artist working in Rome, possibly a follower of the famous sculptor Praxiteles. The artist's name is unknown.

3. **Date:** The statue is thought to have been created around 20 BCE, during the early years of Augustus's reign as the first Roman Emperor. It is a marble copy of a bronze original.

4. **Subject:** The statue depicts Augustus in a classic contrapposto pose, a relaxed and naturalistic stance. He is shown wearing a military cuirass (body armor), which was a symbol of his authority as both a military and political leader.

5. **Iconography:** The statue is rich in symbolism. Augustus's breastplate features intricate relief sculptures that depict various scenes, including the return of the Roman standards (aquilae) by Parthia (a significant military achievement), the goddess Roma, and the divine ancestry of Augustus, with scenes from the myth of Aeneas, the legendary founder of Rome.

6. **Statue's Purpose:** The Augustus of Prima Porta was likely created as a propaganda piece to celebrate and promote Augustus's reign and his connection to Rome's mythical past. It aimed to present him as a just and divine ruler who restored peace and prosperity to the Roman world after years of civil wars.

7. **Restoration:** Over the centuries, the statue has undergone some restoration work, including the addition of the right forearm and hand, which holds a small globe, symbolizing Augustus's dominion over the world.

8. **Importance:** The Augustus of Prima Porta is not only a remarkable piece of ancient Roman art but also an important historical artifact that provides insights into the political and ideological messages promoted by Augustus and his regime. It remains a symbol of the Augustan Age, a period marked by stability and the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.

Today, the Augustus of Prima Porta is a popular attraction in the Vatican Museums, drawing visitors from around the world who come to admire its craftsmanship and historical significance.

 Great item! Sales acted promptly when I asked about the whereabouts of my package.

by Bertie 

Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

My husband loved this figure! There is a lot of intricate detail that's very high quality. With how thin and delicate some features are, we were so pleased that nothing was damaged during transport, since there was great care taken in packaging.
