EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the Prima Porta Statue of Augustus, a masterpiece of ancient Roman sculpture housed in the Vatican Museums in Rome, Italy. The statue, which dates back to approximately 20-10 BC, is believed to have been created to commemorate the military victories of Emperor Augustus (63 BC - AD 14). Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, is depicted in the statue wearing a military tunic and a cloak, adorned with the folds and drapery typical of Hellenistic art. He stands confidently with his right hand extended, pointing towards the enemy, symbolizing his role as a victorious general. In his left hand, he holds a staff, a symbol of power and authority. The statue's intricate details, including the lifelike facial expression and the realistic rendering of the fabric, attest to the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Roman artists. The Prima Porta Statue of Augustus is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Rome. It is one of the most famous and iconic images of Augustus, and a must-see attraction for visitors to the Vatican Museums. The statue's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to catch a glimpse of the grandeur and majesty of the Roman Empire.
