Product information "Portrait head 'Youthful Augustus', art casting"
He thought as little of Athenian democracy as his opponent Cicero. Our portrait head shows the ambitious, literary-minded, brilliant organiser at the age of 20, when he was making great policy in the second triumvirate. The sight of him already foreshadows the later emperor who returned peace to the empire after bloody civil wars, won over the people with bread and games, transformed the mud-brick city of Rome into a marble city and after his death was elevated among the gods. Original: British Museum London. Rome around 47 BC, marble. Polymer ars mundi museum replica moulded by hand. Height incl. plinth 38 cm.
