Augustus Bartoli Caesar Depicted Gaius Julius Octavian Octavianus Octavius Originally Recognised Ruler

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image, created by the renowned Italian artist Carracci's follower, Agostino Carracci, also known as Bartolomeo Manfredi or Bartolini, captures the defining moment in the life of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus. Born Gaius Octavius, later known as Octavianus, Augustus emerged as the first Roman Emperor, ruling from 27 BC to 14 AD. This print, titled "Augustus Recognized as Ruler of the World," depicts the pivotal moment when Octavian was granted the title "Augustus" by the Roman Senate in 27 BC, marking the beginning of the Roman Principate. The recognition of Octavian as the new ruler came after the civil war that followed the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. The image shows Augustus, dressed in a toga, being presented with the laurel wreath and the scepter by a figure representing the Roman Senate. The background is filled with the symbols of power, including the eagle, the cornucopia, and the globe. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Augustus, who brought peace and stability to the Roman Republic, and whose reign marked the transition from the Republic to the Empire. The intricate details and the masterful use of light and shadow in this print make it a valuable addition to any collection of ancient Roman art.
