Emperor Augustus. From Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome.

Emperor Augustus (painted). From Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, Rome, c.20 BC. At the time of its discovery (1863) extensive remains of the statue's colourings were visible. In this construction, the original pigments were recreated and their approximate shades applied on the cloak, armour, hair and eyes but not the skin or on the ground of the armour, which were originally left uncoloured. The result shows some of the startling effects of polychromy applied to statues in antiquity.
