605 - Augustus as Diomedes
Augustus as Diomedes
DATE 27 BC - 14 CE
AUTHOR Unknown
MEDIA Marble statue
SIZE Unknown
LOCATION Italy - Rome - Museo Vaticano
NOTES Consider the statue of Augustus as Diomedes from the basilica of Otricoli, now in the Vatican: the notion that Augustus might ever have shown his scrawny body naked to the world is risible, but putting his face onto a statue of heroic nudity could impress admirers and intimidate opponents.
