A Monumental Sign of Augustus' Victory
With Augustus' return to Rome in 13 BC and his victorious campaigns over Spain and Gaul, the altar was consecrated by Augustus on January 30, 9 BC, Livia's birthday. The depiction on the southern side of the altar shows the dedication procession of the imperial court, including priests and high dignitaries. The priests are easily recognizable by their typical headgear, the apex. The piece provides a detailed scaled-down reproduction of the historical original procession scene.
