EDITORS COMMENTS
Augustus (61 BC-14 AD), the first emperor of the Roman Empire, is depicted in this magnificent marble statue as the Pontifex Maximus, or the supreme bridge-builder and religious leader of the Roman Republic. The statue, dating from the 1st century AD, showcases Augustus in the traditional toga and him wearing the pontifical robes adorned with the pallium and the lituus, the sacred staff of the pontiff. Augustus's head is depicted with a serene expression, and his hair is styled in the traditional Roman way, signifying his connection to the ancient Roman past. Augustus's historical significance cannot be overstated. He rose to power after the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and, through a series of political maneuvers and military campaigns, established the Roman Empire in 27 BC. As the Pontifex Maximus, Augustus played a crucial role in the religious and political life of Rome, bridging the gap between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. The statue, now housed in the Roman National Museum in Rome, Italy, is a testament to the artistic and historical importance of Augustus's reign. The intricate details of the marble carving, from the folds of his toga to the delicate features of his face, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Roman sculptors of the time. The statue also highlights the enduring influence of Augustus on Roman history and culture, as well as his role as a bridge between the ancient Roman past and the modern world.
