EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble bust, dating back to the 1st century AD, captures the enigmatic and powerful presence of Gaius Octavius Thurinus, better known as Augustus, the first Roman Emperor (63 BC-14 AD). Discovered in Pergamum, modern-day Bergama in Turkey, this masterpiece of ancient art is now proudly displayed in Istanbul's Archaeological Museum. Augustus, the founder of the Roman Empire and the Julian and Claudian dynasties, is depicted here in the prime of his life, with a serious yet contemplative expression. His well-groomed, short-haired head is framed by a laurel wreath, symbolizing his military triumphs and his status as the divine ruler of Rome. The intricately carved details of his face, with its strong jawline and piercing eyes, convey a sense of authority and wisdom. Augustus' profile, with its straight nose, prominent cheekbones, and defined chin, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the sculptor. The interior of the bust reveals the meticulous craftsmanship, with the marble expertly carved to create a lifelike and expressive likeness of the emperor. Augustus' reign marked the beginning of the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and stability that lasted for over 200 years. His legacy as a military leader, political strategist, and cultural patron is still felt today, making this bust a significant historical artifact and a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Rome and its rich history.
