Our Augustus Caesar Bust is shown with his elaborate armor. The original bust was made from marble dating from 63 B.C - 14 A.D. was sculpted after his death. Augustus Caesar was the first Roman emperor, following the republic, which had been finally destroyed by the dictatorship of Julius Caesar, his great-uncle and adoptive father. With unlimited patience, skill, and efficiency, he overhauled every aspect of Roman life and brought durable peace and prosperity to the Greco-Roman world.
