Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue of the emperor Augustus, made of bronze. It was found in the Aegean sea, between the islands of Euboea and Agios Efstratios. The emperor is depicted in mature age, mounting a horse. He wears a tunica with a vertical purple stripe (clavus purpurea) and a fringed paludamentum decorated with a meander pattern. Iconographic features of the Prima Porta and Actium types are combined in this statue. The right hand is raised in a gesture of official greeting. The hilt of his sword can be seen below the left hand, in which he held the horse’s reigns. On the bezel of his finger-ring a staff of divination (lituus) is engraved, symbolising the supreme religious office of Pontifex Maximus, assumed by Augustus in 12 BC. Height 1,23 m. Accession number: X 23322 National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece. Text credit: namuseum.gr
