Description:
|
The concept of the official portrait was established under Caesar Augustus. When Augustus was crowned in the year 23 BCE, the figure of the princeps became one with the state. Official portraits in the Julio-Claudian dynasty are marked by an idealized classicism. Found in the Aula sacra of the theater in Merida, along with a head of Augustus, and another toga-clad figure, thought to be Tiberius' son Drusus. Tiberius was Augustus' successor (reigned 14-37 CE) and adopted son; he lived to be 77. (Source: Madrid, Museo Arqueologico Nacional [website]; http://www.man.es/man/en)
