Relief head of Emperor Augustus, marble, chiseled, Total: Height: 37.4 cm; Width: 21.4 cm; Depth: 22.6 cm, reliefs, sculptures, ruler/lord, head portrait, historical person, portrait, ruler portrait, state portrait, Emperor, Augustus, Roman Empire, Emperor, Early Imperial Period, The life-size head of the youthful Augustus, depicted in almost full relief, is a portrait of high quality. It originally belonged to a multi-figure high relief. At first glance it appears to be a classical ideal head, but it is nevertheless a portrait of a member of the Iulian-Claudian imperial family in a version influenced by Greek stylistic features. Emperor Augustus contrasted the realistic portraits of the late Roman Republic with idealized facial features, which were largely based on ideal statues of the Greek Classicism of the 5th century BC. The typical arrangement of hair above the forehead leaves no doubt that the statue can be attributed to the Iulian-Claudian dynasty, even though a final name has yet to be found - Augustus, Gaius Caesar, Drusus Minor and Germanicus have been suggested so far.
