EDITORS COMMENTS
Augustus: The Founder of the Roman Empire and the First Emperor (63 BC - 14 AD) This striking statue of Augustus, located in the National Museum of Rome on the Oppian Hill, showcases the great leader and military strategist who transformed the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Born as Gaius Octavius Thurinus, Augustus later adopted the names Julius Caesar Octavianus and, later still, Divi Filius Augustus (Son of the Divine Julius Caesar). Augustus ruled Rome from 27 BC to 14 AD, an era that marked the beginning of the Pax Romana or Roman Peace, a period of relative peace and stability that lasted for over two centuries. The statue, dating back to 12 BC, depicts Augustus in the role of Pontifex Maximus, the highest priest in the Roman religion. Augustus' reign was marked by numerous accomplishments, including the establishment of the imperial system, the extension of Roman territory, and the promotion of arts and culture. He was also a master of propaganda, using public works, coinage, and monuments to promote his image as a benevolent ruler. The statue's intricate details and lifelike features offer a glimpse into the physical appearance of Augustus, with his calm and thoughtful expression conveying the wisdom and leadership that made him one of the greatest figures in ancient history. The statue's placement in the National Museum of Rome, a testament to the enduring legacy of Augustus and the Roman Empire, underscores the importance of this historical figure in shaping the world we know today.
