Portraits of Augustus
BRONZE BUST OF AUGUSTUS
Early Roman Empire, Last decades of the 1st century BC.
Bronze bust depicting a young Emperor Augustus crowned with a laurel wreath. The eyes are made of silver, and there is a hole at the base of the neck that must have allowed the bust to be inserted into a larger model, most likely made of another material.
Height: 40.5 mm.
Weight: 39.40 g. In great conditions, with dark patina and no traces of oxidations. Scratches under patina at the level of one cheek and one cheekbone. The portrait, which is difficult to equivocate, clearly does not precisely imitate the classical types of Augustan statuary, although it can be likened to the Augustus Bevilaqua, at least by the presence of the laurel wreath.
