Octavian, the exalted
Augustus was the first Roman emperor and he knew a lot about putting himself in the limelight and immortalizing himself for posterity. Only the noblest Romans could have themselves immortalized as busts. There are many different busts of Augustus, but the prima porta bust is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. This is a museum replica which is 17 cm wide and 25 cm high and is placed on a 3 cm high noble marble base. The replica prima porta bust is made of fine alabaster. Alabaster is a natural product which, in contrast to building plaster, dries harder and gives the bust even more finesse.

Prima porta bust
Originally, this monument was an armored statue just over 2m high. The statue was created during the lifetime of Augustus and was produced in very elaborate work. Consequently, the statue is dated to the first century AD. Numerous details were engraved on its armor and these statues also changed the future of sculpture a little. The prima porta bust is named after the place where it was found, namely, as the name "prima porta" implies, in the suburb of the same name in Rome.
Bringing Rome to your home
Bring a piece of Rome into your home. This prima porta bust is a real feast for the eyes and a wonderful decorative item even for less enthusiastic Romans. There are no limits to its placement. The prima porta bust can withstand wind and weather and can therefore also be placed in the garden or on the terrace. The fact is that this relic of a bygone era will attract everyone's attention. Immerse yourself in the world of a real Roman and let yourself be fascinated.
A true ruler does not age
As many of the busts and in fact all of the images of the first Roman emperor were used for propaganda purposes, Augustus does not appear to age. In all the portraits, including the prima porta bust, Augustus radiates the energy of youth. Bring this energy into your home. This high-quality relic is well worth purchasing.
