EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent statue of Emperor Augustus, known as "Augustus of Prima Porta". As the first emperor of Rome, Augustus held not only political power but also served as the religious leader of the mighty Roman Empire. This striking image captures his authoritative presence and regal demeanor. Throughout his reign, Augustus prioritized peace and stability within his empire. He dedicated himself to a comprehensive program of reconstruction and social reform that aimed to improve the lives of his subjects. One notable accomplishment was establishing a standing army that vigorously expanded Rome's territories, ensuring protection against barbarian invasions. Emperor Augustus understood the significance of promoting his image throughout the vast reaches of his empire. Statues like this one were erected in various cities, serving as symbols of power and authority. Coins bearing his likeness further reinforced his influence among both citizens and distant provinces. Upon Augustus' passing, he was elevated to godhood by the Senate—a testament to his exceptional leadership qualities and achievements during his long reign. This official bust immortalizes him not just as an emperor but also as Pontifex Maximus, highlighting his role as Rome's religious figurehead. Sheila Terry's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance embodied in this remarkable piece from ancient Rome.
