Description:

|
Statue of Augustus Caesar which was discovered in 1863 in the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome. Augustus Caesar's wife Livia Drusilla, now known as Julia Augusta, retired to the villa after his death. The dating is contested; the statue may be a copy of a bronze original and may have been gifted to Livia by her son Tiberius, which would date it to 14-37 CE. The sculptor may have been Greek; the statue seems to have been inspired by the figure of the Doryphoros (spear-bearer) by Polykleitos.
