Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support This bronze equestrian statue of the emperor Augustus (29BC - AD 14). Found in the Aegean sea between the islands of Euboea and Agios Efstratios. The emperor is depicted in mature age, mounting a horse. He wears a tunica decorated with a meander pattern. Iconographic features of the Prima Porta gesture of official greeting. The hilt of his sword can be seen below the left hand, in which he helds the horse's reigns. On the bezel of his finger-ring a staff of divination (lituus) is engraved, symbolizing the supreme religious office of Pontifex Maximus, assumed by Augustus in 12 BC. One of the masterpieces of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.-- Jebulon (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
