1. Title: Livia Drusilla, Roman Empress and Goddess Ceres: A Portrait in Stone from Baena, Spain Livia Drusilla (-58 to 29 AD), the legendary Roman empress and wife of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, is depicted in this stunning sculpture as the goddess Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility. This ancient artwork, a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the Roman civilization, was discovered in Baena, a town in the province of Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain. The sculpture, believed to date back to the 1st century AD, showcases Livia's regal beauty and elegance. Her serene expression and graceful posture convey a sense of strength, wisdom, and nurturing qualities, fitting for both a queen and a goddess. The intricate details of her drapery, hairstyle, and jewelry reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the Roman artisans. Livia Drusilla's marriage to Augustus in 38 BC marked the beginning of the Roman Principate, a new era in Roman history. She played a significant role in shaping the Roman Empire, not only as the empress but also as an influential political figure. Her reputation for piety, chastity, and loyalty to her husband solidified her status as a role model for Roman women. This sculpture, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain, offers a glimpse into the ancient Roman world and the lives of its most notable figures. It serves as a reminder of the artistic, historical, and cultural connections between Spain and Rome during the classical age. Intrigued by the story of Livia Drusilla and the Roman Empire? Explore further and immerse yourself in the fascinating history of this ancient civilization.
