Augustus of Prima Porta 

The Augustus of Prima Porta is a marble statue of the Roman Emperor Augustus, created by Ancient Greek artists. It depicts Augustus in a commanding pose, clad in military garb, with his right hand raised in a gesture of address. The statue's realistic portrayal, idealized proportions, and elaborate detailing, including the figure of Cupid at his feet, exemplify the artistic sensibilities of Roman art during the 1st century CE. The statue is a powerful symbol of Augustus's authority and divine right to rule. This artwork is a prime example of Roman portraiture, reflecting the idealized and godlike qualities of the emperor.
