Augustus of Prima Porta (Italian: Augusto di Prima Porta) is a full-length portrait statue of Augustus Caesar, the first empero...r of Ancient Rome. The marble statue stands 2.08 meters tall and weighs 1, 000 kg. The statue was discovered on April 20, 1863 at the villa suburbana owned by Augustus’ third wife, Livia Drusilla in Prima Porta, near Rome. Livia had retired to the villa after Augustus’s death in AD 14. Carved by expert Greek sculptors, the statue is assumed to be a copy of a lost bronze original displayed in Rome. The Augustus of Prima Porta is now displayed in the Braccio Nuovo (New Arm) of the Vatican Museums.
