18 Rome, Statue of the Emperor Octavian Augustus, first quarter of the 1st century CE, height 185 cm, State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. The emperor is represented here as Jupiter, the supreme God of the Roman pantheon, and this statue is a typical example of Roman sculpture from the time of the Empire. The composition was adapted from the celebrated sculpture of Zeus by Phidias, which allowed the placing of the appropriate attributes in Augustus's hands: a Nike and a sceptre. The sculptor preserved the emperor's portrait features, but idealized them to create a formal cult statue.Statue of the Emperor Octavian Augustusheight attributesNike portrait idealized
