Augustus as Pontifex Maximus         

Augustus as Pontifex Maximus, from Via Labinaca. This statue is usually dated to sometime after 12 BC, on the basis of the hair style (similar to that of the Prima Porta Augustus), other stylistic elements, and his finally accepting the office of chief priest upon the death of Lepidus around 13 BC. The head is carved from Greek marble and the body from Italian marble. Museo Nazionale Romano
